![First-time safari goers generally come to the Kruger to see our big cats in their natural habitat, which comprises a mix of marula trees, leadwood trees and belts of unforgiving mopane bush. Plenty goes on in the bushveld, unseen by the human eye.

![As the seasons have shifted, so have our lion pride dynamics. Being based in an area sharing unfenced borders with the Timbavati Game Reserve and the Kruger National Park means plenty of scope for nomadic lions and lion prides to move around. Prides split, new males patrol territories, old males mate with rogue lionesses and […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Mabende2-370x275.jpg "Klaserie Lion Catch-up: NEW Male Lion in Klaserie")

When you’re sitting around the fire listening to the unmistakable whoop of a hyena, the distant grumble of a lion’s roar, the unfamiliar calls of nocturnal creatures and laughing at […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/WIPnThambo2-370x275.jpg "Week in Pictures : An Ode to the Safari Lifestyle")

These stout morphologically dog-like creatures are the most misunderstood species in the safari world. Notorious for being cowardly, cunning thieves and unrepentant killers; it’s no surprise that they have a bad reputation. Hyenas are actually highly social, intelligent and […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/MG_6287-370x275.jpg "This April – When Hyenas Make a Fool of Super Predators…")
