Week in Pictures: Beauty and the Beasts
It’s that time of the week again! Time to take in some of the most wanderlust-evoking imagery we can gather from our collection of unique safari camps and lodges. Based in a few of the most renowned destinations in Southern Africa, guests at the Sun Destinations camps are exposed to wildlife activity on an unbelievable […]
Top 4 Wildlife Videos of the Week
We celebrate the end of the week with the “Week in Pics” which is showcase of mind-blowing artistic wildlife images taken during the week. While our media team is hard at work taking photographs they’ve also spent a considerable amount of time creating wildlife videos to make you feel like you are on safari. From […]
Week in Pictures: Africa Magic
If you’re not already smiling because it’s Friday, here’s something to convert even the most determined frowner: The Week in Pictures! Fantasatic photos out of the Klaserie and Balule Nature Reserves in the Greater Kruger, and some breath-taking shots from the Okavango Delta, Moremi Game Reserve, Savute Marsh, and Khwai in Botswana. Afrika Ecco Safaris […]
Catch up with Ross Breakaway lion cubs
There’s been a short silence after a celebratory overload of lion cub updates involving our first sighting of the two little males, the gut-wrenching moment one almost got trampled by a buffalo, their worrying separation from their mother, the oh-so-cute display they put on playing with a lioness’ tail, and then the first time we spotted […]
Guest Blog: Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp
We’ve just arrived back in the UK after another great few days at Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp – our ‘home from home’ in South Africa. As always we had a warm welcome from everyone at both camps. We arrived early at Africa on Foot and were greeted by an ever friendly Hennie, Mike […]

In this moment I realised that Africa had stolen a place in my heart. There is nothing more rewarding than watching a friendly herd of jumbo socialising and interacting adjacent to […]
Ross lionesses and cubs on a buffalo kill
The Ross Breakaway lion cubs have grown to 2 months old, and we love seeing them looking well fed and healthy! They are both male cubs, and they engage in a lot of wobbly wrestling, which is something they will continue to do throughout their lives. Lions have a close social bond, and they use […]
Week in Pictures: Wildlife Showcase
Welcome to Friday. What a week it’s been! We are having difficulty pin pointing the best of the week’s sightings, what with the array of leopard sightings, lion cubs, elephants galore, and interesting bird action. The Okavango Delta is teeming and fruitful as always, and Afrika Ecco Safaris has taken full advantage of its splendour. […]
Three’s a crowd: Trilogy male lions seen together again
Even as they lie sleeping, the vision of this fierce coalition is intimidating. The dominant male lions in this territory have made their mark, and any wandering lions from the Kruger Park would be foolish to take them on. nThambo Tree Camp and Africa on Foot are spoilt rotten with sightings of the Trilogy males, […]
