The Ross Breakaway lion cubs have grown to 2 months old, and we love seeing them looking well fed and healthy! They are both male cubs, and they engage in a lot of wobbly wrestling, which is something they will continue to do throughout their lives. Lions have a close social bond, and they use…
We consider ourselves very fortunate to be able to show our guests what the wild is all about. It’s a responsibility and a privilege. Any game ranger and guide would agree. Each day there is something new to see, and we might not always see what we expect, but when we are watching lions stalking…
The African painted dog is a gregarious canine species that lives in closely knit packs. There’s an alpha pair who lead the pack and the rest of the dogs have a tightly woven bond which is evident in their co-operative breeding habits. The entire family is involved in rearing the young pups. This nomadic species…
Time and time again, we’ve found the pair of Ross Breakaway lionesses feasting on warthog. Don’t be fooled, these wild pigs pack quite a bit of weight and a fully grown male can weigh up to 100kg, which is a substantial meal for the two ladies! Armed with dangerous tusks and lightning speed, warthogs are…
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again; it’s a tough life for lions in the wild, even if they are the kings of the jungle. Even when the small and vulnerable cubs have grown into mighty lions, they are faced with having to fight for their food, and for their territory. Right from…

What a weekend it’s been! No, we are not referring to the kickoff of the Rugby World Cup, but instead to the unbelievable number of leopard interactions that have taken place right in front of our eyes here in the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve. Guide at Africa on Foot, Mike Beard, recounts the last 3…
A huge amount of lion activity went down yesterday morning, and this time it wasn’t of the ‘two cute cubs’ variety… The Ross breakaway lionesses (one of whom is a new mother) and two of the Trilogy males were found by the nThambo Tree Camp dream team, Matt and Isaak. The foursome was found feeding off…
Fantastic news is that the notably pregnant lioness belonging to the Ross breakaway duo has given birth, and even better news is that we’ve seen the cubs! We posted an update yesterday of the sightings we’ve had thus far, plus the last litter of cubs born to a Ross breakaway female. Check that out here….
Well, our pregnant lioness from the Ross breakaway duo has indeed given birth to cubs after sporting a very heavy belly about a month ago. We reported seeing her on numerous occasions indulging in some buffalo and then some warthog with her sister and a third unknown lioness. The Trilogy males have mated with both…
