Week in Pictures : Bushveld Peace Amidst Festive Mayhem
The end of the year is fast approaching and with it comes a flurry of activity, chaotic lifestyles and a sense of a relief that the year is finally drawing to a close. The bushveld? Well, that always seems to maintain its calm demeanor and a place to find a sense of solace. The only […]
Hercules Pride Feast on a Buffalo Kill
The indomitable Hercules Pride was spotted looking as fierce as ever as they chowed down on a buffalo carcass recently. This elusive pride is always a treat to see, and due to their scarcity, we only catch up with them every so often when they venture out of their mostly untraversed territory. The 4 subadults […]
Week in Pictures: Rain and Relief
With the twelfth month of the year officially underway, we can look back on the past year’s transition from drought and devastation to a blossoming Garden of Eden. The bush is always invigorated and full of life, even when the landscape looks parched, but there is something about the buzz of summer, and the weight […]
VIDEO: Front Row Seats at a Lion Kill in Klaserie
After catching up with the Breakaway lionesses and one Mapoza male yesterday morning looking decidedly lazy and content with sleeping all day, we were hoping the cooler evening hours would coax them into action. Well, action was what we got! Afternoon game drive took a dramatic turn at Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp […]

It’s awe-inspiring and staggeringly sad all at the same time, and we have to remind ourselves that we are exceptionally lucky to bear witness to the wild and untamed natural world in the Kruger Park. […]
Week in Pictures: A Feast for the Eyes
First of all, happy Friday one and all! It’s already a good day, and can only be made better by this long list of some of the best wildlife photography to come out of our Kruger and Botswana safari lodges this week. It’s been a cracker all round, with predator sightings from top to bottom, […]
nThambo’s Predator Safari with Lions and Wild Dogs!
It’s been a week of merciful drizzle so far in the Klaserie, and this morning as Africa on Foot set out on an award-winning walking safari, nThambo Tree Camp guests headed off in their new Cruiser to see what was on offer for their early game drive. Turns out: a lot! The predators were out […]
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 […]
