It’s the start of Sun Destinations #AfricaTravelTuesdays and we’re excited to launch our very first guest feature in the form of a visual safari blog, provided by UK photographer Meg Donati. In today’s blog, Meg talks about the nThambo Tree Camp guest experience, covering each and every aspect of her stay last year, from her…
During the course of last year we realised that the much-loved tradition of snapping and cracking Christmas crackers is not particularly environmentally friendly. It’s always been at the back of our minds, but it came to the fore when research indicated that there is a 30% increase in waste over the Christmas period. The last…
A coalition of 5 male lions and 1 lioness happen to be the talk of the town in the southern stretches of the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve. The strapping and dominant presence of the lions has certainly fuelled the rumour mill. That rumour mill clunks into action whenever there’s a sighting – debates and conjecture…
We recently wrote a blog post about the prolific predator sightings in the Klaserie over a 24 hour period. If you recall, there was a sighting of 6 unknown lions eagerly tucking into a giraffe kill, 15 wild dog puppies huddling together on the road, and 3 cheetah relaxing after a recent kill. The lions…
Our Sun Destinations Instagram queen, Gemma, conducted her usual research on the social media platform to source nThambo Tree Camp images from guests. She came across Zambesie Van den Broeks photos of the Klaserie, which needed sharing. When Gem reached out to Zambesie, she very kindly let us use her images to showcase the wild…
The weekend in the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve was a weekend of absolute wildlife mayhem. The team at Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp went from experiencing a steady stream of sightings to an absolute influx of awe-inspiring sightings. The carnivores came out to play, and the team experienced 24 hours of predator sightings….
While our social media guru was scouring Instagram for posts, she came across images from a guest who recently visited nThambo Tree Camp. The lovely couple visited South Africa for their honeymoon, and clearly enjoyed their romantic safari experience in the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve. They’re so romantic that they even made hearts in the…
About a week ago we released the first 3 videos (Chapter 1) of the discovery of Margaret’s Khaya, a hyena den on the Klaserie traverse. Before we discuss the next 3 videos (Chapter 2) it’s vital that we furnish you with a quick recap. Chapter 1 discussed the discovery of a buzzing hyena den deep…
Megs Donati, a recent guest at nThambo Tree Camp, enjoyed a rather successful safari ! We noticed her incredible wildlife photos from game drives at nThambo Tree Camp flooding the Instagram airwaves, so we decided to catch-up with her. She sent us a review of her stay coupled with a few photographs from her time…
While Rogan and Gem were out on their routine morning drive in the Klaserie exploring the thickets for felines, they came across an active hyena den. Stumbling heavyset cubs came tumbling out of the den, rewarding “Rogem” with a glimpse into the world of hyenas. A somewhat excited Rogan (he’s naturally an excitable fella) sent…
