New Cruisers for Africa on Foot & nThambo
We’ve recorded so many magnificent memories trundling through the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve in our open-top Land Rovers, offering our guests front row seats to the Kruger’s most phenomenal wildlife sightings. The original Ross Pride at 20+ lions, old dominant males Tyson and Fabio, the Good and the Bad, the Trilogy, and now the Mapoza. […]
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 […]
This Halloween: The Dark Side of Going on Safari
We are not going to beat around the bush here, or rather the bushveld, but this article is not really about anything sinister or sensationalist. We’re actually using Halloween as an opportunity to celebrate a trio of nocturnal species shrouded in superstition. They’re the protagonists in ancient folklore and even witchcraft! Hyenas, lions and owls […]
The Gorgeous Ground Hornbills of Klaserie
Some might consider it a face only a mother would love, but if you look a little more closely at the Southern ground hornbill, you’ll notice its luscious long eyelashes, mesmerising blue eyes, and the vibrancy of the bulging red skin on its face. This dinosaur-like bird is a relative of the yellow- and red-billed […]
End of an Era for Trilogy as Mapoza Lions Takes Over
As we know, male lions spend their lives fighting for territory and dominance of prides, but we can’t help but feel some sense of disbelief when we see it happen in front of our eyes. What’s happened in our neck of the woods in the Klaserie over the weekend has left us confident that we […]
Week in Pictures: A Little Slice of Heaven
We’ve spent the week cruising through the waterways of the Delta, bumbling over the rocky terrain of the Balule Nature Reserve, accelerated through the thick sand of Botswana, and sailed across the plains of the Sabi Sand and the sandy riverbeds in the Klaserie. We’ve seen the beginnings of rain add touches of green to […]
Hyena Cub Joins Clan’s Feeding Frenzy
Hyena certainly have a bad reputation in the wild for being nothing but an anxiety ridden scavenger that waits in the wings to steal predator kills. These notorious creatures are a rather complex species and bear remarkable similarities to both cats and dogs. Often mistaken for being a derivative of some sort of canine species, they […]

Breakaway Lionesses Reunite!
We all love a happy ending, and last week we were confronted with the possibility of losing one of the Ross Breakaway lionesses, only to discover both lionesses well and side-by-side over the weekend and again this morning. This is how the story went… Last week, Africa on Foot guide, Greg Moran, found the older of […]
