![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 […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/elephants-savuti-chloe-370x275.jpg "Week in Pictures: Unexpected elephants, and more safari gold")

![One muggy afternoon on the Linyanti swamps we set off for a routine game drive. We were spending 2 weeks making our way through some of the best wildlife zones in Botswana, and game drives had become something of a marvelous habit. Guests at Camp Linyanti are led by their guides in kitted out Land […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/lionstare-campliyanti-kevinmac-370x275.png "Lions on a kill charged by elephants at Camp Linyanti")
![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, […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/lioness-haina-chloe-370x275.png "The Week in Pictures: The birds, the bees, and the big things.")
![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 […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/python1-linyanti-kevinmac-370x275.png "Week in Pictures: All sorts of everything wild!")
![Word from the camps this week comes packed with enviable tales of life in the bush. Kevin MacLaughlin has more from home-base at Africa on Foot: A spotted bush snake was found at Africa on Foot just behind one of the guest’s rooms. It spends most of its time in trees in search of lizards and tree frogs, […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/cheetah-kevin-kruger-370x275.png "Week in Pictures: All the cats, the dogs, and rhinos in perfect light")
![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, […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/bushmen-haina-mikeclarke-370x275.gif "Guest blog: A little piece of Kalahari paradise at Haina")
![A houseboat safari is quite unlike the experience to be had at permanent game lodges where the hours of game viewing and exploration are confined to morning and evening. Cruising down the world-famous Okavango River in simple style with only the familiar faces of your friends and family creates an experience to remember. The exclusive […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Ngwesi_Okavango_068-370x275.jpg "A sneak preview of life on the Delta Belle")
![The long, green grass of the well-watered Okavango River Panhandle is ideal for hiding the slinking silhouette of a lioness huntress out on the prowl for her dinner. She drops low into the grass and tries to disguise her form and get as close as possible before charging out of the bush, targeting her prey.

![The Okavango Delta Panhandle is home to such an array of colourful creatures, it’s hard to know which way to look! The Delta Belle Houseboat cruises through the area taking guests on a private tour of this magnificent region. These are some of the birds one will get to know in the epic Okavango… We […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/guineafowl-rorybruins-morem-370x275.gif "Birds of the Okavango Panhandle")
![The Okavango Panhandle feeds the widespread floodplains of the world-famous delta that reaches across the north-west of Botswana. Recently named a World Heritage Site, the Delta has been officially recognised as a wetland paradise housing a diversity of Africa’s wildest species. Water-loving wildlife and birdlife keep close all year round, thriving in the numerous waterways […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/P1080142-001-370x275.jpg "Giant crocodiles of the Delta Panhandle")
