Week in Pics: "You've Got Personality"

“Walk, with personality. Talk, with personality. Smile, with personality. Charm, with personality.” Those are the lyrics from Harold Logan and Lloyd Price’s top billboard hit from eons ago – 1959, to be exact. And these pictures, carefully selected for the week in pics, certainly have character and personality! If these images could talk, “You’ve Got Personality” would most certainly be the theme song playing in the background.

This artistic collection of photos highlights the game viewing from the past week and celebrates the presence of creatures both big and small. Our team of photographers have been hard at work gaining unique perspectives on wildlife.

Here is a brief update from the week.

Ezulwini Game Lodges in the Balule enjoyed a week of lion, elephant and buffalo sightings. Jochen, our Balule based photographer, managed to awe us with his lion cub photos. He also captured a few vivid photos of birds of prey interacting and close-ups of plains game. We’ve thrown all these images into the melting pot of sightings for the week but a highlight from the week was the visit from Shoshangaan the collared elephant.

The cubs from the Ross Pride breakaway lioness in the Klaserie were killed by the Hercules Pride of lions. What should have been a week of happiness turned into a week of grieving and mourning. Kevin made an incredible tribute video for the Ross Pride cubs to celebrate their short but meaningful time in the Klaserie. But let’s not dwell on the unexpected fate of the cubs. Guests from nThambo Tree Camp and Africa on Foot have had lion sightings, fleeting glimpses of leopard, interactions with buffalo and elephant herds; and all the small creatures have also been showing off for guests.
