Week in Pictures: Hyenas in the mud, and a leopard cub!
It’s getting hot, hot, hot up in the African bush, and the summer rains bring added humidity to the climate.

The death of a leopard in the Klaserie
Survival of the fittest means only one thing; that those who are weaker will succumb, and those who succeed will prosper.

It all comes down to excellent guides! A review of our Klaserie camps.
Our very frequent guests, Jochen and Mira, return again and again to nThambo Tree Camp, Africa on Foot, and nDzuti Safari Camp. What is it that makes these camps so special for them, and why do they leave with happy hearts and a renewed appreciation for the Lowveld every time? Jochen’s latest message to us held the […]
