#CameraTrapTales : Leopard Walks Around Ezulwini Lodge
Christian and the team at Ezulwini Game Lodges strategically placed camera traps in high “wildlife” traffic areas close to the lodge. The results are always astounding, if not amusing. Over the past few months we’ve revealed a few stills from the camera traps, with astounding footage emerging from a bustling waterhole on our traverse. We […]
Week in Pictures : Friday the 13th is Just Another Day in the ‘Veld
Friday the 13th bears no meaning to our wildlife. For them, it’s just another day in the bushveld where one day becomes interlaced with the next, and the only focus is to eat, survive and reproduce. The simple life can often be a brutal one! This week has displayed its fair share of barbarity, with […]
Photographs of Birds Spotted at Chacma Bush Camp
The Kruger habitat accommodates a complete smorgasbord of birder’s delights, and there are over 477 species of bird thriving in the diverse habitats of the Greater Kruger. There are commonly spotted birds seen in abundance, some of which include the lilac-breasted roller, the southern yellow-billed hornbill and the grey go-away bird – our very own […]
The Landscape, Geology and Biome of the Maseke Reserve
Deep within the heart of the lesser-known and relatively unexplored Maseke Balule Game Reserve, lies the humble and intimate Chacma Bush Camp. This reserve is also home to the 3 day trail adventure courtesy of Africa on Foot Wilderness Trails. The landscape alone is fascinating and would most certainly leave David Livingstone wishing he’d conquered this sector of […]
Week in Pictures : Change is Upon Us!
We ease into the weekend with a sense of excitement as another week in the bushveld comes to a delicate end. We are entering a new season, which means the weather patterns will begin to show their erratic moods. The colours of our landscape will slowly begin to shift into new hues, and wildlife behaviour […]
Week in Pics : A Bumper Edition
Last week we took a brief hiatus from our weekly portfolio of images, but this week we’re back with a bumper edition to right our wrongs of last week’s lack of “Week in Pics” delivery. Our reason? We were in the bushveld, monitoring lion prides and observing Pel’s fishing-owls. So yes, this week we’re due a […]
Hyena vs Lions vs Hippo : Africa on Foot Ranger Observes the Weird
Africa on Foot camp manager Nadia and ranger Chade were driving back to camp when they happened across a clan of hyena feasting on a fresh kill. They stayed with the clan until one of them led the group to Jason’s Dam. Here they witnessed two (currently) unknown male lions heading towards the hyena kill. […]
Week in Pics : Mixed Emotions in the Bushveld
The lifestyle in the bushveld is always dynamic and ever changing, unfolding before our eyes. We witness the untimely deaths of elusive cats and at the same time, enjoy endearing sightings with the young of the bushveld. This week we endured yet another leopard death deep within the Sabi Sand, but were equally delighted when […]
