Snake Eating Bird’s Egg Seen on Safari with nThambo
This is a fantastic example of how unpredictable a game drive can be, and how paying attention to the signs and sounds of the bush can lead to an epic, once-in-a-lifetime sighting! Regular guests, Mike and Fiona Clark, are back at their familiar holiday spot in the Klaserie – nThambo Tree Camp. After plenty of […]
Week in Pictures: African Nostalgia
It’s a tough job having to select the best photographic captures of the week; sifting through folders of outstanding safari moments and bookmarking the ones that evoke emotion, admiration, and nostalgia. We are tasked with the job of flipping through albums of wildlife action caught on camera, sunsets that warm the soul, and quiet moments shared […]
Week in Pics: A Different Perspective on the Wild
There’s been a gentle patter of rain falling onto the thirsty grounds of the Kruger. Although not enough to make a major dent in the arid bushveld, some rain is better than nothing. And it appears that a wealth of wildlife have emerged from the thickets to display a set of unique behaviours. This week […]
Bellies Full of Buffalo for Mapoza and Breakaway Lions
This morning’s game drive at nThambo Tree Camp was a spectacular affair of wildlife, and we reckon the highlight of the safari was seeing the Mapoza male lions with the Ross Breakaway lionesses feeding on a fresh buffalo kill! These well known females were on the social media news most recently when they lost a […]
Cheetah Casually Strolls into nThambo Tree Camp
The cheetah is a slender diurnal cat with a placid nature that enjoys a lifestyle of lone wandering.

They hunt […]

Hercules Pride Lions Hunting Buffalo
The Hercules Pride has made a name for itself as a ferocious family of lions, determined to remain wild, and intolerant of neighbouring prides. Their usual territory is on a private property neighbouring Africa on Foot, but with the lack of fences in the Klaserie, the lions move freely and lately we’ve been seeing them […]
BREAKING: 3 New Lion Cubs for Ross Breakaway Lionesses!
What could be more exciting than a fresh batch of lion cubs? Not very much! The top discovery of the weekend has to be the breaking news of the new Ross Breakaway cubs. With all the superb lion action taking place in the Klaserie, from the Hercules Pride, to the Mapozas, we’ve had enough to keep our […]
Wine Tasting in the Kruger Wilderness
The combination of wine tasting and safari could possibly be the match made in heaven we’ve all been dreaming about. Packing a cooler box with your refreshment of choice is game drive protocol, but a wine tasting event on safari is nThambo Tree Camp and Africa on Foot’s idea of how to watch the sunset! […]
