Welcome to Friday. What a week it’s been! We are having difficulty pin pointing the best of the week’s sightings, what with the array of leopard sightings, lion cubs, elephants galore, and interesting bird action. The Okavango Delta is teeming and fruitful as always, and Afrika Ecco Safaris has taken full advantage of its splendour. The Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, where Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp are nestled, has taken cute to another level with the addition of 2 baby lions, while leopardess Rhulani has outdone herself yet again. The neighbouring Balule Private Game Reserve is home to some of the most spectacular prides of lion, and Ezulwini Game Lodges are enjoying sightings of them every single day.
Embrace the upcoming weekend and indulge in some safari inspiration as you scroll through these spectacular pictures of wildlife highlights from our camps and lodges this week!
Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp: Sister camps in the private Klaserie reserve in Greater Kruger, this pair enjoys most of the wildlife wonders together in two-vehicle locs. This means that only 2 vehicles are allowed in a sighting at any one time, which keeps the impact on the animals low, and it ensures the quality of the sighting is exceptional. Some of the highlights from this week are as follows:
A Leopardess, a Cub, and a Kill

All 3 Trilogy Lions Together Again
Ezulwini Game Lodges have enjoyed a parade of lions, wild dogs and leopard this week! The famous blue-eyed male leopard called Chavaluthu was caught in the act with a freshly killed warthog between his teeth. Guests watched in awe as this phenomenal creature tucked into his hard earned meal after ambushing the inhabitants of a warthog burrow. What’s more is that the large Olifants West lion prides have been full of action, and we’ve been able to watch the youngsters playfully interact with each other. And to top it all off, a pack of African wild dogs arrived in the area! Look out for that story tomorrow…
Up into the famous wetlands of the Okavango Delta, Afrika Ecco Safaris is pulling out all the stops to create the most memorable and exhilarating experience for their guests. Gliding up to a sandbank in the waterways that is adorned with salty snacks and icy drinks is one unforgettable way to enjoy the sunset! Then it was off to Moremi Game Reserve for some quality time with elephants at a waterhole.
