Week in Pictures: All Creatures Great and Small

New life, in the light of a new day

When it comes to wildlife photography, where can we draw the line? There is wild life in everything, from the trees, to the soil, to the birds and the bees. It’s buffaloes and beasts alike that draw our attention at first glance: the rosetted pelt of a leopard streaking through the bush, the flick of a […]

Week in Pics: Spring has Sprung !

Wild Dog Pup

This week in pictures we intend to introduce you to the wonders of spring and the flurry of activity that goes hand-in-hand with the change of seasons.

This time, the Week in Pictures falls on World Elephant Day, a day dedicated to the celebration of the world’s largest land mammal.

Week in Pictures : Sneaky Cats and Rare Pangolins

Starlit Sky Africa on Foot

The sneaky cats, opportunistic predators and rare pangolins have been the centre of attention this week. Across the board, we’ve seen an increase in big cat sightings and kills close to camp. The presence of fresh carcasses brings with it an influx of scavengers, which always enhances our photographic opportunities. Rapidly declining species such as the African wild […]

Week in Pictures: Winter Wildlife

Temperatures are at an annual low at this time of year, as winter fastens its grip in Southern Africa. The Kruger Lowveld has taken a knock with the drought that has left many dams prematurely dry, and inhibited the growth of grasses needed to feed the grazing wildlife community. Still, nature always has a way. […]
