Week in Pictures: Best of 2016
Well, here we are, at the very end of 2016! In an astonishing hurry, another year has flown past, and what we’ve seen in the bush has made us breathless, ecstatic, amazed, and heartbroken.

The Week in Pictures: We’re All Going on a Summer Holiday
Northern Botswana has received its first big rains, which were dealt generously over the Kwatale Conservancy where Tuskers Bush Camp is located. Cracked pans bore old hoof imprints, which had hardened and become fossilised. Giant indentations in old mud wallows lay frozen in time, revealing the footprints of the last elephant to have enjoyed its […]
Week in Pictures: The Day of Reconciliation
It’s the Day of Reconciliation in South Africa, marking the anniversary of the end of Apartheid and the union of the nation. As the country celebrates, we reflect on its natural treasures, and marvel at the raw and untainted wilderness that surrounds us.

Antelope are ruminants and use their lower incisors to […]
Week in Pictures: Welcoming the Silly Season
A week into November, and silly season is soon upon us! The world is beginning to think about the holidays that lie ahead and perhaps some are heading into the African wilderness for an end-of-year celebration. In the bush, we see less of the festive season decorations adorning shop windows, and more of the seasonal […]
The Week in Pictures: Mama Africa
She lives and breathes through the earth, the rivers, the sky, and the sun. The wind is her whisper, and the trees are her limbs, reaching out to hold us in her embrace. She is beautiful, yet she is devastating; her moods can be joyous, and they can be foul. We marvel at her creation […]
Stay at Ezulwini and Tantalize the Tastebuds
It’s an exhausting affair sitting in an open-topped Land Rover traversing the rough bushveld of the Balule Nature Reserve; which is why Ezulwini Game Lodges feel the overwhelming desire to ensure you’re looked after…And that includes your stomach! Seeing a herd of elephants crunching through the thickets and devouring fresh vegetation makes your heart ache […]
