An Ode to Rhinos in the Greater Kruger Park
Gusts of breath released through the leathery nostrils of a white rhino send swirls of dust into the air, as her head hangs low to the ground. She is designed to graze, to shear the grass with her tough lips and flat, textured molars. The weight of her head is supported by her mighty neck […]
VIDEO: Front Row Seats at a Lion Kill in Klaserie
After catching up with the Breakaway lionesses and one Mapoza male yesterday morning looking decidedly lazy and content with sleeping all day, we were hoping the cooler evening hours would coax them into action.

Wild dogs hunt impala in Africa on Foot camp!
This was one of those ‘right place, right time’ mornings here in the bush, and although we are in an unfenced camp at Africa on Foot, we couldn’t have expected what happened in the lounge before the sun rose this morning… A confused and exhausted impala found its way into the living area under Africa […]

Buffalo bulls get frisky with one another… ?
Initially, it looked like we had stumbled upon a buffalo bull and his missus in the throes of passion, but as we got a closer look it turned out that there wasn’t a missus in sight!
