![Roam Private Game Reserve is not only home to a veritable kaleidoscope of flower species, and harbour to thousands upon thousands of endemic animal, bird and insect species, but it is also an area steeped in fascinating history. Until the other day – around 250 million years ago – a vast inland sea stretching more […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/RoamKarooLandscape-370x275.jpg "Roam-an History")
![While Rogan and Gem were out on their routine morning drive in the Klaserie exploring the thickets for felines, they came across an active hyena den. Stumbling heavyset cubs came tumbling out of the den, rewarding “Rogem” with a glimpse into the world of hyenas. A somewhat excited Rogan (he’s naturally an excitable fella) sent […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/HyenaRogan-370x275.jpg "Chapter 1 : The Discovery of Margaret’s Den and the Hyena Cubs")
![The thing about winter in the Kruger is that it really is prime game viewing time. The sparse bushveld makes it easy to spot game and the lack of rains means that wildlife congregates at waterholes. We know (generally) where to find game – and the bushveld is far easier to scan for signs of […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/WIPChacmaSusnets-370x275.jpg "Week in Pictures : The Wild of Winter")
![Our highly-qualified guides at Umkumbe Safari Lodge spend months observing the natural behaviour of wildlife in the Sabi Sand, a haven for predators. The khaki-clad crew spend days eagerly tracking lion prides, attempting to predict their next move. Their arsenal of knowledge about the wild is eagerly shared with guests that arrive at the lodge […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/WaldoNweti2-370x275.jpg "Game Drives at Umkumbe : A Visual Journey with Our Safari Guides")
![One of the major drawcards of Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda, Lake Manyara National Park in Tanzania and the famous Serengeti, is the presence of rare tree-climbing lions. Spotting a stocky and powerfully built lion clumsily clambering up a tree, is indeed a unique wildlife sighting. Leopards are our textbook tree-climbers, but lions – […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/TreeClimbingLions3-370x275.jpg "Guide JC Spots a Tree-climbing Lion in the Klaserie. That’s Right.")
![Winter is in full swing in the Greater Kruger, and predator sightings have steadily increased. The big cats are always there, but with the thinning out of the bushveld they’ve become easier to locate. Giant water-loving herbivores, graceful general game, powerful lions, sleek leopards and adorable critters have provided plenty of sightings for our guests […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/WIPEZHippoCalf-370x275.jpg "The Week in Pics : All Creatures Great and Small")
![June 16th in South Africa is Youth Day (and this year it coincides with Father’s Day). Youth Day is a day set aside to think about the brutal events that occurred during the Soweto uprising. The 16th is the day when over 20 000 students took to the streets in protest of inequality and oppression […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/WIPLionCubs3-370x275.jpg "The Week in Pictures : Youth Day")
![Botswana is the land of magic, mystery and predator mayhem. Reed-lined channels of the Okavango Delta snake their way through parched Kalahari landscapes, the mighty life-giving Chobe River flows vigorously through riverine forest and jade colour vegetation, the misunderstood flat salt pan of the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park, the geographical marvel of tectonic plate movements […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/MotswiriCamp1-370x275.jpg "Botswana Bush Dinner Under the Stars at Motswiri Camp")
![Game drives with Umkumbe Safari Lodge tend to over deliver in terms of leopard sightings. Located in the heart of leopard country in one of South Africa’s most revered reserves, puts Umkumbe in the perfect position to spot these somewhat elusive and obscure predators. Game drives with the passionate team from Umkumbe Safari Lodge are […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/UmkumbeKudyelas-370x275.jpg "The Prowling Predators of Umkumbe Safari Lodge")
