We’ve just arrived back in the UK after another great few days at Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp – our ‘home from home’ in South Africa. As always we had a warm welcome from everyone at both camps. We arrived early at Africa on Foot and were greeted by an ever friendly Hennie, Mike…
Arriving at nDzuti Safari Camp after a long drive through the dry Klaserie bush, we came upon a gem. The lodge is situated on the banks of a dry river bed, extended by mopane bush, and a lush, green lawn surrounding the lodge. Robbie, our host, greeted us with a welcoming smile, and a cool drink –…

From the high, thatched ceilings, to the wide open glass doors and windows, and vibrantly coloured décor, Makubu Lodge invites the outside beauty right indoors. With the wooden and stone integration, fireplaces, riverside balconies, and poolside loungers, once can’t ignore the sense of luxury of this Kruger-based lodge.

Mike and Fiona Clarke are back in the bush and, as always, we are happy to hear from them giving us their thoughts on our camps! Here’s the Haina Report: A change to our usual South Africa trip; we decided to spend a few days in the Kalahari first. We arrived at Botswana airport,…
My exhilarating stay with Africa on Foot began with a transfer to the lodge with game ranger Enoch. While bobbing around on the back of the safari vehicle I kept my eyes peeled for a chance at spotting wildlife – you never know when something wonderful could pop out from behind a bush! In between…
On my third day at nDuzti, I sat on the porch watching tree squirrels scurry from trunk to trunk while a hungry hare hoppity-hopped its way across the expansive green lawn in search of nosh. To my left, slow-motion giraffes drank from a waterhole, while their fellow thirst-quenched impala-friends succeeded in restlessly scaring each other…
