![Wild dogs are possibly the most entertaining animals to watch… when you are lucky enough to spot them on game drive! Firstly, they are incredible predators, they have beautifully patterned pelts, they are never alone, and they are always interacting with each other in a playful and noisy fashion. Lions, on the other hand, enjoy the […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/wilddogs-savuti-11-700x260-370x275.jpg "Wild Dogs Hunt And Drink At The Savuti Channel")
![This week appeared to be dominated by predator and big five sightings, in both the Kruger and Botswana. This week presented us with a showdown between a baboon and a leopard at Camp Linyanti. Needless to say, the leopard won the battle and took home his prize. This young male showed no signs of backing […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/WIPLIONESS3-700x260-370x275.jpg "Week In Pictures: Leopard Kill In Botswana And Big Five Kruger Sightings")
![The rainy summer season in Botswana has left the Linyanti in a state of lush, green chaos. Right in the north of Chobe National Park on the border of the Caprivi Strip, Camp Linyanti is a haven for elephants, hippos, birds of all sorts, and the secretive habits of the leopard. A visit to this […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/DSC_7568-370x275.jpg "Witnessing A Leopard Kill At Camp Linyanti")
![Harvey’s Pan in Botswana’s renowned Savute region seems to be occupied by a pair of rather ferocious king cats! After 2 nights of roaring heard at Camp Savuti, a fierce-looking male and his equally stern lioness were located in the shade near one of Harvey’s Pan waterholes. Keeping well hidden, these cats were a mystery […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/lion-charge-savuti-kevin-700x260-370x275.jpg "Lion Charge In The Savute Kingdom")
![True to its name, the ancient riverbed of Deception Valley is a fossilised remnant of the great body of water it used to be thousands of years ago. Like much of the Kalahari Desert, Deception Valley is a piece of history; a history of the movements of water, the migrations of animals, and the footsteps […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/springbok-cover-haina-kevin-700x260-370x275.jpg "Classic Kalahari: Into Deception Valley")
![One predator, and one prey, yet almost evenly matched; lions and buffaloes have become renowned enemies in the wetland of the Okavango Delta. The brute force of the heavy-horned bovids, their notorious temperaments, and the fight for survival make these herbivores a dangerous target, even for lions. Highly documented by wildlife filming power couple, […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/lionmane-delta-kevinmac-370x275.jpg "Ultimate Contenders: Lions and Buffaloes of the Delta")
![This is one of those things you would only hear about in Africa, where rumours of pet elephants and lions in the garden circulate the globe.

![It’s getting hot, hot, hot up in the African bush, and the summer rains bring added humidity to the climate. In both Botswana and the Kruger we are seeing changes in the environment, the presence of wildlife, and animal behaviour. Migratory birds continue to fleck the air with new colours and sounds; one of the […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/leopardcub-bw-angele-370x275.jpg "Week in Pictures: Hyenas in the mud, and a leopard cub!")
![One muggy afternoon on the Linyanti swamps we set off for a routine game drive. We were spending 2 weeks making our way through some of the best wildlife zones in Botswana, and game drives had become something of a marvelous habit.
