![Well…Haven’t we been a tad bit quiet on the Week in Pictures front? That’s a rhetorical question. We’ve been tightly wrapped in a chrysalis of work and travel, but now we’re back with an elephant-memory vengeance. And we’re most certainly going to make up for lost time with these creative images from our guides and […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/WIPChimpsCharge-370x275.jpg "The Week in Pictures : Wilderness, Rainforest and Coastal Perfection")
![Richard Brown Says, ” In a quiet corner of the lesser-known Maseke Private Game Reserve waits Chacma Bush Camp, a laid-back luxury oasis in the teeming wilds of the Greater Kruger.” I’ve visited Chacma Bush Camp on more than one occasion, and each time was an absolute delight.

![We’ve experienced a bit of a lull in the Week in Pictures, but certainly not a lull in game viewing. Across the board its been a continuous cycle of predator sightings, unpredicted take downs and rare moments shared with the residents of the Lowveld. Our guides have been busy in the field, leading guests into […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/WIPLionHyenaAOF-370x275.jpg "The Week in Pictures : Catching Up with the Untamed Ones")

The big cats are always there, but with the thinning out of the bushveld they’ve become easier to locate.
