Hercules Pride Spotted Again & the “Cubs” are Growing!
The notorious Hercules Pride has been spotted again on the Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp traverse, where this elusive and not-so-friendly pride has been seen intermittently for the last 18 months. The last we saw of these lions was 2 months ago when we reported a little drizzle of rain and the unexpected […]
Week in Pictures: All Creatures Great and Small
When it comes to wildlife photography, where can we draw the line? There is wild life in everything, from the trees, to the soil, to the birds and the bees. It’s buffaloes and beasts alike that draw our attention at first glance: the rosetted pelt of a leopard streaking through the bush, the flick of a […]
Another Day, Another Feast for Klaserie Lions
With the tough drought conditions that have plagued the Kruger Park this year, it’s no surprise that the grazing animals are weaker than they would be if they had fed on the green grass of summer. In the Klaserie, we’ve seen the buffaloes falling victim to hungry lions regularly, meaning that the king predators are getting […]

This isn’t news in terms of lion behaviour – lions are notorious scavengers and opportunistic feeders, meaning that they will rarely miss out on a […]
Week in Pictures: Born to be Wild
This time, the Week in Pictures falls on World Elephant Day, a day dedicated to the celebration of the world’s largest land mammal. In the wild places that house our safari camps, elephants roam free, and are so at home that they take it upon themselves to come right onto the camp grounds, help themselves to […]
Jackpot! A Wild Pangolin Spotted on Game Drive
Given all the excitement surrounding Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp in the Klaserie Reserve recently, we are discovering that just about every game drive presents something remarkable, whether it be a candy-coloured sunset, the perfect gin & tonic, African wild dog puppies, lions, or a rare and endangered (and hardly EVER seen) pangolin!
