![Sounds silly doesn’t it? Most would think so, seeing as the black mamba is the largest venomous snake in Africa and possesses a deadly combination of neuro-cardiotoxic venom that attacks the heart and nerves of a bite victim within seconds. However, our ranger at Africa on Foot, Mike Beard, has a lifelong passion for snakes […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/russell-mamba-370x275.jpg "On the Ground with a Black Mamba!")
![Goings on at the camp are as exciting as ever and it seems that every major predator has come out to play. During our #livebushfeed edition on Wednesday, we were getting live reports from the rangers at Africa on Foot that the Trilogy Lions – a mean coalition of 3 males – was stalking and hunting buffalo. The […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/elephant-landscape-aof-kevin-370x275.jpg "The Week in Pictures: A Photography Round Up")
![We’ve always been curious about how wildlife behaves without the presence of our game vehicles, so we set up a camera trap on our traverse in the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve. We are amazed at the action we caught on camera. Three out of the big five – not bad going ! The herd of […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/cameratraps-370x275.jpg "Video Footage from Our Kruger Camera Trap")
![The thing about Marakapula Reserve is that it pretty much has it all. On the doorstep of the Kruger National Park with exclusive guided tours or self-drive adventures on the menu; a luxury lodge with private riverfront views and creature comforts you can’t live without; and its own Big 5 property that is home to all sorts of wonderful members of the wild!

![In December 2013, the 68th session of the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 3 March as World Wildlife Day. The relevant organisations within the UN system facilitated the implementation of World Wildlife Day in recognition of the fact that wildlife plays an integral part of our daily living. This year we celebrate wildlife, but also […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/SDWildlifeVervetMonkey-370x275.jpg "How To Support World Wildlife Day")
![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")
![Bull giraffe are not violent by nature but certainly have a protective instinct when their young are under threat. By nature, they are not territorial like many of the cat species and they move from one location to the next in search of cows on heat. The only antagonism that arises between giraffe bulls is […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/giraffe11-370x275.jpg "Giraffe Bulls Go Neck And Neck In A Duel")
![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")
![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!")
