![Exuding grace, finesse and exhibiting lightning speed; the cheetah is an elegant solitary cat that differs greatly from its big cat counterparts. This spotted cat doesn’t possess the strength of lions and leopards, and is (technically) classed as a diurnal hunter.

![We’ve spoken briefly about Teagan’s “conscious” safari experience at Roam Private Game Reserve where she became involved in a few conservation projects currently underway within the reserve. The aim at Roam is to provide a unique safari experience that combines activities synonymous with a standard safari, AND combine it with a variety of conservation activities.

![We’ve been a bit delayed with our launch of this week’s “Week in Pictures”, but we’re sure our photographer’s mesmerising images will more than make up for our tardiness.

![We love it when our guests share their safari images on social media. It gives us the opportunity to witness first-hand what our guests are seeing at camp, and it’s a peek into their version of the safari lifestyle.

![Last week we enjoyed an array of sightings, and there were no dominant species that stole the show. Hints of cats, overt displays from playful elephants, and a flurry of plains game provided a unique mix of highlights for last week’s “Week in Pictures”. This week our common denominator is…Cats. The creeping cats decided that […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/WIPwalkersplainagame-370x275.jpg "The Week in Pictures : Hello Kitty")

![The rains have arrived! The Lowveld’s already flourishing landscape was treated to drinks courtesy of the water-laden storm clouds. The clouds were threatening to unleash their open-bar attitude and throw liquid at all terrestrial creatures. The storm clouds eventually declared open-bar and released their rains. When the rains hit, you can smell the bushveld, feel […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/WIPChacmaLions-370x275.jpg "The Week in Pictures : A Mixology of Sightings")
![This Valentine’s Day, we’d like to extend our love to all and sundry. We’ve jumped on the “we heart you” bandwagon, and have decided to share a few images from recent romance shoots at two of our camps – Ezulwini Game Lodges and Africa on Foot.

![We blame playwright and literary genius Hemingway for the bad press bestowed upon spotted hyenas. His unfounded fear and clear disregard for our unique crocuta crocuta species deserves more than a few eye rolls from our side. It’s not only that hyenas were branded shameful demonic beasts in the classics, but in African and Persian folklore […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/EzulwiniHyenas-370x275.jpg "Hold on Hemingway, Take a Step Back Disney !
