![Our lion sightings in the Kwatale Concession appear to be snowballing, and our tawny beasts are no longer wanting to remain hidden in the dense shrubbery surrounding Tuskers Bush Camp.

It seems a particularly difficult summer to let go of this year, after last year’s drought, which all but strangled the life out of Kruger. The summer months brought relief when […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/EmGatland-579700-370x275.jpg "Week in Pictures: Winter is Coming")
![The start of May signifies the end of the impala rut. Rams are exhausted from mating and they roam the bushveld with waning stamina and little emotional energy. They become weak and vulnerable prey for predators and an easy take-out meal for eager carnivores. Co-indecently, the beginning of May is also the start of the […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/WildDogsnThambo-370x275.jpg "African Wild Dogs at Sunset")

![The Felidae family comprises the genus Panthera which refers to lions, leopards, tigers, jaguar and snow leopards. Snow leopards aren’t common in the bushveld; but our precious Panthera pardus (leopard) and Panthera leo (lion) are found in abundance throughout Botswana and Kruger.
