Tuskers Bush Camp: Meet Our Lions

Tuskers 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.

Lion at Tusskers Bush Camp

Christina’s First Hand Account of White Lions on a Kill

White Lions Feed

“Something always dies when the lion feeds and yet there is meat for those that follow him” – Wilbur Smith Seeing a white lion in the wild is rare.

Xobega Island Camp: The Quintessential Mokoro Experience

Mokoro Trips at Xobega

There is absolutely no doubt about it: the finest way to see the Okavango Delta, hands down, is from inside a mokoro, and for very good reason.

The Never Ending Story: Leopard Visits Lion Kill

Leopard visits an abandoned lion kill, caught on camera trap

When buffaloes lose their lives to lions, it’s the beginning of a process of decomposition, and it is surprising just how many creatures benefit from the death of the buffalo after the lions have done their part and eaten the meat from the bones. The entire buffalo gets put to use and all that remains might […]
