Cupid in Camp on Valentine’s Day. We “Heart” These Pics!
This Valentine’s Day, we’d like to extend our love to all and sundry.

We trust that you’ll forgive us for not delivering last week’s edition of the Week in Pictures. Today we’ll make it up to you with images of sunsets smouldering on the horizon, stolen moments with voracious predators, colossal and commanding giant herbivores, and vain plains game zigzagging across the verdant emerald landscapes.

Hold on Hemingway, Take a Step Back Disney ! We Respect Hyenas.
We blame playwright and literary genius Hemingway for the bad press bestowed upon spotted hyenas.

The Week in Pictures : Avian Delights, Big Cat Carnivals, and Lush Landscapes
The safari industry refers to the summer season in Kruger as “emerald season”, and for good reason. When the rains pelt down and smother the dry landscape with water, the bushveld awakens from its drab slumber. Those bland branches give birth to plush greenery, and migrant birds flock to the region for its ample supply […]
