For the week in pictures this week, we’re portraying the best snaps from our camps in the Greater Kruger and in Botswana! It’s been a whirlwind of a week and one can’t help but envy these talented photographers for the gorgeous wildlife sightings they have enjoyed in our beloved Africa. As always, we love to…
Africa on Foot is our little gem in the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, taking giant steps in the world of walking safaris and eco-friendly fun among the Big 5. Located in this private Greater Kruger reserve, the experience enjoyed by guests is exclusive and personal, and it is ideal for a family getaway. There…
There is so much beneath the surface of what you see on safari, it is certainly impossible to leave after your holiday knowing everything there is to know. The dynamics between certain animals, the symbiotic relationships, the dominance and territorial behaviours, and even the act of parenting are different throughout the wildlife kingdom. To…
At Africa on Foot every morning begins with a walk on the Klaserie soil. Led by 2 guides with rifles, guests trek through the grassy woodlands discovering what animals have left behind the night before. Tracks and signs of the bush tell stories of fights in the night, and the territorial ownership of the…
Mike and Fiona have come to the end of their safari this time (although we know it won’t be long until we see them again!), and we’ve just read about their last few days at Africa on Foot. There couldn’t have been a more magnificent ending if we could have planned it – lion cubs…
Mike and Fiona send us a lovely write-up from their holiday location in the Klaserie, telling us about the exciting game sightings they have enjoyed on game drive and, of course, on foot!

The waterhole in front of nDzuti Safari Camp in the Klaserie sees a variety of visitors, from its nighttime regulars – jackal, civet and hyena – to the influx of diurnal animals, like impalas and baboons.

Game drives are always exciting, whether…
Guests at nThambo Tree Camp were lucky enough to watch a new-born elephant calf during its first hour of life recently; a sight one never expects to see – not even the rangers! Elephants are arguably the most fascinating creatures in Africa when it comes to family structure and herd dynamics. There is a purpose…
