Week in Pics : The Genius of Genus Panthera
The Felidae family comprises the genus Panthera which refers to lions, leopards, tigers, jaguar and snow leopards. Snow leopards aren’t common in the bushveld; but our precious Panthera pardus (leopard) and Panthera leo (lion) are found in abundance throughout Botswana and Kruger. Now that you’re more aware of the taxonomic hierarchy of our cats, it’s […]
Week in Pictures: The Spirit of the Wild
Photography has given us moments in time. Frozen forever in an instant never to be repeated or replayed – maybe similar, but never identical. The beauty of the bush has captured the hearts of travellers and residents alike, and it falls upon photography to translate the beauty of the wilderness into images to cherish forever. Technology […]
Week in Pics : A Trace of Green for St Patrick’s Day
Pantone awarded green as the colour of the year for 2017 and it happens to be the signature colour of St Patrick’s Day, which is today. Green represents rebirth, life, motivation and freshness. When the season’s change and bring the rains, the bushveld changes from crunchy and dull to lustrous and green. St Patrick’s Day and the natural […]

Week in Pictures: Seize Every Moment
Anyone who has spent days, months, or years traversing the arid landscapes and swamp-like wetlands of Africa will tell you that it all comes down to luck of the draw. Astonishing wildlife moments occur unpredictably and without warning. You might be in the right place at the right time to see a leopard leaping metres […]
Week in Pictures : A Flair for the Unusual
Our lodges and camps all have one thing in common this week in the wild – a flair for the unusual. It could be the tiresome threat of the ominous weather approaching pockets of the Kruger or the madness surrounding Valentine’s day causing this erratic and strange wildlife behaviour. Whatever the reason, this week in pictures we’re celebrating […]
The Week in Pictures: TGI Friday Fix!
Another week of golden mornings, rose-tinted evenings, and humid summer days spent sipping something cold and allowing an afternoon siesta to take its course has passed us by. The hours just after dawn are well worth waking up for in the bush, where a world of unpredictable wildlife activity awaits. The sunrise spills its light […]
Week in Pictures: Safari Stars
Time might seem like it’s flying as we enter the second month of 2017, but the timelessness of the bush slows us right back down and reminds us that every moment holds something special. The stars come up every night, but so seldom do we take the time to glance up and gaze at it. […]
