![Since the Trilogy coalition sauntered into Ross Pride territory and wrecked havoc with the resident lion pride, they have been the 3 dominant males in the area, and they run a tight ship. Battle scars define their faces, and one male walks with a limp, while together they have a temperament to be cautious of.

![It’s the beginning of a new year and it is summer in the south! The vegetation is creating jewel-coloured backdrops for some superb wildlife photography, and one finds themselves forgetting what the bush looked like only a few months ago before the precious rains arrived. Game drives begin earlier in the mornings and later in […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/jackal-afrikaecco-kevinmac-cropped-370x275.jpg "Week in Pictures: Big Cats and Birds!")
![How privileged are we that the words ‘wild dog’ and ‘mania’ can be used in a sentence to describe a Kruger safari? The fact is that these incredibly specialised predators are highly endangered with less than 6000 dogs estimated to remain in the wild. After the Ethiopian wolf, these gorgeous and dynamic painted dogs are […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Wilddog-orpenpack-1-370x275.jpg "Wild Dog Mania")
![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!")
![This week comes with a farewell to one of our incredible rangers at Umkumbe Safari Lodge. Angele has sent us a message and some wonderful photographs from her last week in the Umkumbe bush, and what a week it has been! All the best Angele, and see you back in the bush soon.

![African wild dogs, also know as Cape hunting dogs, and painted dogs are purely carnivorous, and they are very good at it. Their co-operative breeding behaviour and incredible social structure means that the whole pack (can reach up to 30 individuals) works together to support the breeding effort and the strength and survival of the […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/wilddogs12-kevinmac-370x275.jpg "Wild dogs on film at Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp")
![With such a diverse range of camps in various areas of pristine wilderness, its not surprising that the photography coming out of these areas each week is reliably great. The Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park, the Sabi Sand, and the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve have produced some fantastic footage lately, and photographers Em Gatland, Kevin MacLaughlin, […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/lioness-haina-chloe-370x275.png "The Week in Pictures: The birds, the bees, and the big things.")
![Our very frequent guests, Jochen and Mira, return again and again to nThambo Tree Camp, Africa on Foot, and nDzuti Safari Camp. What is it that makes these camps so special for them, and why do they leave with happy hearts and a renewed appreciation for the Lowveld every time? Jochen’s latest message to us held the […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/sunset-ndzuti-jochenvandeperre-370x275.png "It all comes down to excellent guides!

![The Klaserie is on fire with wildlife activity and excitement, and lucky for us, photographer Em Gatland has been hanging out at Africa on Foot capturing it all! Recently, Em and JD headed out in search of lions, and what they got was an unexpected thrill.

![On a recent trip to Botswana, we bore witness to some of the first impalas to be born of the season, baby warthogs tearing up the ground in an excitable game of ‘tag’, and some of Africa’s fiercest predators in their cute n fluffy youth. Well, their presence at a bloody kudu kill tainted their innocence […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/baboon-chloe-linyanti-370x275.png "The Week in Pictures: It’s baby season in the wild!")
