Cheetah Mauls an Impala at nThambo Tree Camp
The sparse Kruger wilderness is a wild and unpredictable place where anything is possible. It’s a place where birth, death and violence merge to make up the circle of life in the animal kingdom. A place where emotions are neglected in the fight for survival, and a place in the food chain. When we witness […]
Guest Blog: Rhulani the Leopard & Roaring Lion
Well, here we are back at nThambo for another fabulous 4 days! As always we had a warm welcome from Lily and the nThambo team – it was 35 degrees when we arrived so were thankful for a cool drink on arrival (well, Savanna and Castle to be precise). Game viewing has been fabulous, as always. […]
Week in Pictures: Moments in Time
Summing up a week on safari is no easy feat when we’re looking at a fine selection of safari experiences from a number of bush camps and lodges that we deem the best. From Savuti to Sabi Sand, there is wildlife magnificence everywhere you look, and today on Endangered Species Day, it seems it is our […]
Trilogy male lion roaring into the night
As if a big, dominant, battle-scarred male lion roaring loudly into the night isn’t memorable enough; this particular game drive took place during an African thunder storm, with lightning illuminating the sky and rain drizzling down onto the drying earth. The Trilogy lion coalition is a strong band of 3 brothers, and even though they are […]

Wild Dogs Chase a Lone Wildebeest for Fun
A pack of Africa’s second-most endangered predators arrived in the area late last week to the detriment of one poor wildebeest. nThambo Tree Camp guests were on their morning game drive when they pulled up to this unusual sighting and watched the ‘playground bullying’ carry out between a couple of trouble makers and a lone […]
Week in Pictures: Caught in the Act!
It’s not as if we’ve been creeping around in silence, trying to catch them out. We’ve been trundling around in 4×4 Land Rovers with chatty, happy guests, weaving in and out of the beautiful traverse of the Sabi Sand Wildtuin and the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve. But funnily enough we seem to have caught these animals […]
2016 Safari Awards: nThambo Nominated
nThambo Tree Camp has been nominated in two categories for the 2016 Safari Awards. Winning an award in these categories is quite an accolade and a feather in our cap. We need your help in voting for us. We could not be where we are today if it weren’t for the support and positive feedback […]
The Who’s Who of Klaserie Lion Romance
It’s been pretty hard to keep up with all the love-making happening in the Klaserie over the last month. We’ve got 3 Trilogy males spreading their seed throughout both the Ross and Giraffe pride lionesses, plus, there’s the dominant male in nDzuti Safari Camp domain who is known for killing the River Pride male. And he was caught […]
