There are parts of Africa best explored by foot. Discovering the continent with nothing between your feet and the earth, transports you back to the beginning of time. However, it’s not always safe and possible to explore the spoils of this land by foot; unless you join Africa on Foot for a walking safari that will take you…
This is the second instalment of a video blog series dedicated to what our rangers capture on camera traps around Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp and at the surrounding pans and waterholes. It was a busy week at Twin Pans, which is where nThambo guide, Bjorn, positioned his camera trap, and thanks to…
One of our all-time favourite leopards seen regularly on our traverse is this natural beauty, Cleo, and yesterday during our weekly #livebushfeed game drive, we bumped into her doing what we have seen her do over and over again: resting on a sunny termite mound. Typically, leopards like to climb trees or recline on anything at a…
Earlier this month, we reported the presence of two unknown male lions intruding on what we know to be Trilogy lion territory. This pair of males entered the equation right in the middle of a tense couple of days, as the Mabande male (also a newcomer) had staked his claim by mating with the Ross…
Ultimate warlords, the Trilogy male lions, were seen this morning at first light accompanying the Ross Breakaway lionesses on a potential buffalo hunt. These 4 lions are a formidable force, and they were determinedly following a herd of buffalo, which is likely to result in a good meal for the foursome! Africa on Foot and nThambo…
What’s there not to smile about when the Klaserie is your back garden? These toothy smiles belong to some of Africa on Foot‘s most valued staff members, and when photographer, Em Gatland, visited recently she captured their best sides in an impromptu photo shoot on the lodge grounds. Sure, we are missing some key members…
A whirlwind safari recorded on Greg’s ‘dash cam’ as he guides a game drive at Africa on Foot in the Klaserie. A chilly winter’s morning with a bit too much wind last week meant that a game drive was opted for over a walking safari, and Greg mounted his camera to record the bushveld cruise…
If you’ve been following our wildlife updates for long enough, you’ll remember the excitement that surrounded the discovery of a wild dog den near Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp almost a year ago. This is some sensational news, as we know these super predators are an endangered species, and we are lucky enough…
These endearing photos taken of the Ross Breakaway lionesses show their softer side, while an image of one of the females baring her teeth shows her true colours… They are wild cats, of course, and they survive on live prey, but their bond as sisters appears to be unbreakable. We have watched them over the years as they…
Mabande moved in on Trilogy turf and mated with the Ross Pride Breakaway lionesses. Two of the Trilogy returned to reclaim their land and their “women”. They fought with Mabande and he kept a low profile for a while. During his hiding out phase, the Trilogy mated with the Ross Pride Breakaway’s and conducted a…
