Umkumbe Safari Lodge: Meet Our Big Cats
Nestled in the heart of the Sabi Sand Wildtuin lies a quiet gem of lodge called the Umkumbe Safari Lodge. Located in one of South Africa’s premier big five reserves, Umkumbe is in the enviable position of being a central area for big cat sightings.

Wild Dogs Chase a Lone Wildebeest for Fun
A pack of Africa’s second-most endangered predators arrived in the area late last week to the detriment of one poor wildebeest. nThambo Tree Camp guests were on their morning game drive when they pulled up to this unusual sighting and watched the ‘playground bullying’ carry out between a couple of trouble makers and a lone […]
Week in Pictures: Caught in the Act!
It’s not as if we’ve been creeping around in silence, trying to catch them out. We’ve been trundling around in 4×4 Land Rovers with chatty, happy guests, weaving in and out of the beautiful traverse of the Sabi Sand Wildtuin and the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve.

And he was caught […]
Video of Elephant Bull Drinking from the nThambo Pool
A large elephant bull with impressive tusks, in the height of musth, was seen sauntering through the Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp. Both camps are open which means animals are able to roam freely throughout. This leaves an air of adventure and unpredictability to your average, run-of-the-mill safari. What happened yesterday was quite […]
