The Week in Pictures – Lions of Savuti, a dwarf mongoose and The Treehouse

Kevin has been hard at work visiting all the camps, and below are some of the highlights.

Vulture landing

This was taken at Camp Savuti, the lions had killed a buffalo and we got there as they were moving off to find some shade from the heat which allowed the vultures to take over the scraps. (c) Kevin MacLaughlin

 

Gemsbok at Haina

This Gemsbok was found in the Central Kalahari while on a mobile safari with Haina. We often found the Gemsbok feeding around the springbok in vast open plains. (c) Kevin MacLaughlin

Female leopard at Camp Savuti

This image was also taken at Camp Savuti, this female leopard was incredibly relaxed and allowed us to view her for about an hour. She scent marked a few trees in the area then moved to the shade of our vehicle, and then into thick bush.

 

Yellow-billed Kite

This image was captured right in front of Haina Kalahari Lodge taken from the spa overlooking the waterhole. There were 3 yellow-billed kites that came down for a drink during the midday heat. (c) Kevin MacLaughlin

 

Dwarf mongoose

This little guy was captured at Africa on Foot. The family of Dwarf Mongoose were playing around a termite mound in the early hours of the morning before rushing down the holes from the sound of the vehicle, but curiosity got the better of them and they poked their heads up for their picture.
