![This was one of those ‘right place, right time’ mornings here in the bush, and although we are in an unfenced camp at Africa on Foot, we couldn’t have expected what happened in the lounge before the sun rose this morning… A confused and exhausted impala found its way into the living area under Africa […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/morning-sunrays-370x275.jpg "Wild dogs hunt impala in Africa on Foot camp!")

![It’s been yet another bumper week in the bush, with the highlights being 1) the sighting of two tiny wild dog pups at their den near Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp; and 2) the sight of a leopard cub with a kill in a tree near Umkumbe Safari Lodge in the Sabi Sand.

![Something incredible has been reported from within the heart of the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, and we are now considered some of the privileged few to have witnessed such an intimate act of the wild. Africa’s endangered painted dogs have settled in a den near Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp, and the alpha […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/wild-dog-puppy-370x275.jpg "VIDEO: Wild dog pups get a meaty breakfast!")

![These two certainly seem to like each other (although there’s not much to be said for monogamy in the animal world), and we are getting quite used to seeing the big cats of the Klaserie working on growing their families! This male from the Trilogy coalition – identified by his particularly scarred nose – has […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Trilogy-snarling-during-mating-370x275.jpg "Trilogy lion gets himself a girlfriend")

![Ok, so ‘favourite’ might be a bit biased, because with all the leopards loping in and out of the Umkumbe traverse, there are bound to be other ‘favourites’. But the Notten’s female has been around for such a long time and she exudes confidence and elegance like no other cat does, so it is safe […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/nottens-looking-ahead-370x275.jpg "Umkumbe’s favourite leopard on a kill")

![The Klaserie Private Nature Reserve is a buffalo hotspot and usually when we spot a couple, there are hundreds more just out of sight.

![It’s been an undeniably awesome week in the Greater Kruger region, which makes this edition of the Week in Pictures particularly difficult.

![Umkumbe Safari Lodge was the scene of yet another historical wildlife moment. This time, there were no graphic moments where the life of an unsuspecting steenbok came to an end, but rather it was the start of a new life.

![This week has been incredible in terms of feline sightings. Leopards and lions have come out to play; and we can barely keep up with the ranger reports. The two Ross pride breakaway females, who dominate the Klaserie, have been seen on a daily basis.
