![Rangers in the Balule often stumble across huge breeding herds of buffalo that arrive en masse to the waterholes peppered around the Ezulwini Lodges. The herds number up to 400, which makes for remarkable sightings for guests. The lone bulls, often referred to as Dagga Boys, lather themselves in mud and pass their days by soaking […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/MG_3123-370x275.jpg "5 Facts About Buffalo in the Balule Nature Reserve")
![A common thread seems to weave through today’s week in pictures. The sightings of elephants, lions and leopards have been in abundance across all of our camps.

He’s captured close-ups of ears, tusks, skin, trunk and tail. We’re loving his black and white photos of these emotional jumbos!

Elephants have the innate ability to express grief, humour, co-operation, playfulness and compassion. Their brains comprise a series of complex folds, more so than other land animals, which […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/elephantnthambo-370x275.jpg "nThambo Guests Get Close to a Relaxed Elephant Bull")

![The dominant male leopard on our traverse is called Maxabeni. He is quite solid in his size and stature; and is often spotted protecting his territory.
