Claps of thunder, bolts of lightning and torrential downpours are the hallmark characteristics of summer in Kruger. We roller coast through the arid season, straight towards the carpets lush vegetation of summer, and occasionally we bypass spring.  The change of season in Kruger is often an unpredictable time of year, and we’re certainly feeling the effects of the […]

Lion cubs are fragile, bumbling cats with a high mortality rate in the wild.

First light seeps in slowly, gently breaking the dark mystery of the night with subtle hints of natural light.

Lion on the Move

Hello Monday, my old friend. I’ve come to talk with you again. It’s that time of the week, when “Week in Pictures” makes a grand and startling entrance.
