Week in Pictures: Africa Magic
If you’re not already smiling because it’s Friday, here’s something to convert even the most determined frowner: The Week in Pictures! Fantasatic photos out of the Klaserie and Balule Nature Reserves in the Greater Kruger, and some breath-taking shots from the Okavango Delta, Moremi Game Reserve, Savute Marsh, and Khwai in Botswana. Afrika Ecco Safaris […]
Week in Pics: Gallery of Birds and Beasts
Lions, leopards and big game are in the limelight yet again. There seems to be a plethora of lion cubs spread across our Kruger camps, which is good news. Lion cubs have such a low survival rate in the wild, so it’s nice to see these tawny bundles heading towards maturity. We’ve also seen a […]
Week in Pictures: Wildlife Showcase
Welcome to Friday. What a week it’s been! We are having difficulty pin pointing the best of the week’s sightings, what with the array of leopard sightings, lion cubs, elephants galore, and interesting bird action. The Okavango Delta is teeming and fruitful as always, and Afrika Ecco Safaris has taken full advantage of its splendour. […]
Week in Pictures: A Parade of Wild Creatures
Hello Friday! As promised, here is our collection of photos and highlights from the week. This has been largely dominated by big cats, small cubs and a flurry of odd activity. Enjoy the pictures! Umkumbe Safari Lodge Leopards are a common sight when out on a game drive with Umkumbe, but this week we’d like […]
Week in Pics: The Bold and the Beautiful
Delving into the lion pride dynamics of the Ross pride or trying to figure out Mxabene the leopard’s latest conquest is like trying to figure out the plot of a banal soap opera. There is always plenty of drama in the world of lions of leopards. What happens in the wild is endearing yet unforgiving […]
Week in Pictures: It’s a Wild World
The week has drawn to a close, but the action doesn’t stop out here in the bush where life is delightfully unpredictable. Yesterday morning, guests at nThambo Tree Camp headed out for their morning game drive in the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve when the bush offered up something most incredible: a mother lioness was seen […]
Week in Pics: Cats and Critters
With the changing landscape and kaleidoscope of colours peeking through the dry vegetation, it’s evident that spring is fast approaching. The weather in the Greater Kruger is getting warmer and we’ve even experienced the first of many gentle rains. With the change of seasons, new species of wildlife come out to play. Our predators and […]
Week in Pics: Cats, Dagga Boys and Jumbos
Big cat predators, weary old dagga bulls and carefree jumbos have been in the spotlight this week. Our graceful cat, the leopard, remains unfazed and elusive, presenting us with only a vague cameo appearance. Three out of the big five have been fighting for the limelight – lions, buffalo and elephant sightings have been in […]
Week in Pics: Feisty Big Five
Dust clouds and the disastrous crunching sound of the Mopane trees could be heard this morning when a massive herd of elephants stampeded past the nThambo Tree Camp vehicle. What startled this herd? We suspect it was the presence of the Ross pride breakaway females who were seen on the move the night before. Africa […]
