Meet Maxabeni, Umkumbe’s Dominant Male Leopard
The dominant male leopard on our traverse is called Maxabeni. He is quite solid in his size and stature; and is often spotted protecting his territory. Leopards are nocturnal creatures who spend their daytime hours resting to conserve their much needed energy for kills; which is why Maxabeni sightings happen mainly in the dead of […]
Week in Pictures: Big Cats and Birds!
It’s the beginning of a new year and it is summer in the south! The vegetation is creating jewel-coloured backdrops for some superb wildlife photography, and one finds themselves forgetting what the bush looked like only a few months ago before the precious rains arrived. Game drives begin earlier in the mornings and later in […]
Week in Pictures: Hyenas in the mud, and a leopard cub!
It’s getting hot, hot, hot up in the African bush, and the summer rains bring added humidity to the climate. In both Botswana and the Kruger we are seeing changes in the environment, the presence of wildlife, and animal behaviour. Migratory birds continue to fleck the air with new colours and sounds; one of the […]

Week in Pictures: Unexpected elephants, and more safari gold
Sometimes you see what you expect, sometimes something quite the opposite comes your way. While on safari with Camp Linyanti, we encountered so many elephants that we grew to expect them around every corner, but we had to stop and take a look at one particularly wrinkly old female. She didn’t have any tusks, and her […]
The Week in Pictures: The birds, the bees, and the big things.
With such a diverse range of camps in various areas of pristine wilderness, its not surprising that the photography coming out of these areas each week is reliably great. The Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park, the Sabi Sand, and the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve have produced some fantastic footage lately, and photographers Em Gatland, Kevin MacLaughlin, […]
Week in Pictures: All sorts of everything wild!
This week we’ve got a roundup of incredible images from Botswana and from Kruger where our exceptional camps nestle in their wild homes. Surrounded by the African bush, everyday is brimming with opportunity to witness something phenomenal. It is the new season of rain, and the heat is rising for summer, and with the new […]
