Week in Pictures: A Little Slice of Heaven
We’ve spent the week cruising through the waterways of the Delta, bumbling over the rocky terrain of the Balule Nature Reserve, accelerated through the thick sand of Botswana, and sailed across the plains of the Sabi Sand and the sandy riverbeds in the Klaserie. We’ve seen the beginnings of rain add touches of green to […]
Baobab Bush Dinner at Tuskers
Botswana is known as the land of giants, not only due to its abounding elephants, which occupy Chobe National Park in vast numbers, but also as a namesake to the ancient baobab trees, which bury their roots in some of the country’s most special places. Somewhere along the hidden pathways, and through the ebb and flow of […]
Tuskers Birding Checklist: Special Features!
Now you might think that just because these creatures don’t have a mane and an earth-shattering roar that they are somewhat less worthy of the hours we spend watching them; however, birds are decidedly more interesting than watching sleeping lions snore! Twitchers, as we are called, are fascinated by birds and their behaviour. An undeniable flutter […]
Week in Pictures: African Nostalgia
It’s a tough job having to select the best photographic captures of the week; sifting through folders of outstanding safari moments and bookmarking the ones that evoke emotion, admiration, and nostalgia. We are tasked with the job of flipping through albums of wildlife action caught on camera, sunsets that warm the soul, and quiet moments shared […]
Safari to the Khwai Riverfront from Tuskers Bush Camp
Khwai is a dusty little town on the north-eastern edge of Moremi Game Reserve, set among the winding waterways, floodplains and swamps of the river of the same name. It is a little slice of rural Botswana, full of all the usual trappings: dogs and chickens and small children going to and from school, old […]
Learning to Track Wildlife in Botswana at Tuskers Bush Camp
Just after dawn, in the soft morning light, the white sands around Tuskers Bush Camp are firm from the cool night air. It makes the wildlife tracks distinctive, and a walking safari through the bush both exciting and educational. While walking safaris are limited in the major National Parks in Botswana, in the Moremi East […]
Week in Pictures: Wild at Heart
Fridays mean a lot of things to a lot of people, and to us it means it’s time to reflect on the top wildlife sightings to come out of our Kruger and Botswana camps during the week! As per Friday tradition, we like to ease into the afternoon with a collection of images captured in […]
Week in Pictures: All Creatures Great and Small
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 […]
Tuskers Bush Camp: Meet Our Lions
A lone male lion with endless golden locks and a powerful beast of a body was seen patrolling the arid landscape around Tuskers Bush Camp. He was swaggering his way along the road en route to the pan – probably to replenish his thirst. We know this because the camera trap photographed him in the […]
