While out on a Kruger National Park game drive, a member of our Mzansi Team caught sight of a highly inquisitive buffalo. With no danger in sight, this gentle giant smoothly rejoined its tranquil posse and moseyed along.
๐๐ข๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ?
Buffalo herds have ranks, considered complex and based on a powerful structure. Size, strength, and maturity all play vital roles in their rank, relationships, and ultimately determine their leadership. The center of a buffalo herd comprises of close females and sub-herds (including junior males and elderly members).

A nail-biting interaction was captured on camera when two lionesses tried their luck with a Nile Monitor in the Khwai Concession, Botswana. To our astonishment, these lionesses were outmanoeuvred by the incredible agility of this reptile, ultimately conceding defeat. Nature's unpredictability never ceases to amaze!

As highly social creatures that are often found roaming alone, hyenas baffle us all!
Having unique structures that are built for endurance over speed, hyenas are impeccable hunters and scavengers known for their distinct vocalizations when communicating with other clan members in the area. These clans boast a complex social structure that is female dominant.
With just 4 months left in 2023, it's the perfect time to plan your final safari expedition! We offer adventure-packed, competitively priced, tours across stunning destinations like South Africa, Botswana, and Zimbabwe.

Did you know?
Twenty centuries ago, a staggering number of over a million lions roamed across vast territories spanning Europe, Syria, Israel, Iraq, Pakistan, Iran, and India. By the 1940s, their population had dwindled to 450,000. Presently, the count has plummeted dramatically, with a mere 32,000 of these magnificent creatures left on our planet.
On this day, let's honor these regal creatures by spreading the word about their importance in keeping ecosystems in harmony and ensuring their legacy continues for centuries to come!

Spotted! A rare Lycaon pictus pack โ otherwise known as African wild dog. Two guests, travelling all the way from the United Kingdom, hit the โjackpotโ of safari sightings as wild dogs accompanied by pups are seldom stumbled upon.
The travellers observed as the pups gathered to consume the regurgitated meat delivered by the Alpha female for nourishment. This sighting was caught near the packโs den.

๐๐๐ญ: Each wild dog pack is led by a monogamous breeding pair, while the entire pack assumes the responsibility of protecting the pups.
Book a safari tour with us at our unfenced flagship lodge, positioned in Klaserie Reserve (Greater Kruger Area), where you might have the chance to witness this fascinating wild dog den in action!

Speed walking into the weekend ahead just like a hyena on the prowl.
In order to enhance their scavenging success rate, spotted hyenas often separate themselves from their larger social groups.
Hyenas are skilled hunters, not just opportunistic thieves preying on the kills of others. In a surprising twist, it is not uncommon for lions to turn the tables and steal the hard-earned kills of hyenas.

Spotted! Africaโs very own version of a โcatwalkโ. This impressive feline decided to strut its stuff all along the tar road, completely unphased as we observe in awe.
While it is highly unusual for an elusive leopard to walk along a tar road while cars observe, nature sometimes presents us with extraordinary moments. The reasons behind such behavior could be diverse. Perhaps the leopard is using the tar road as a convenient pathway to navigate through its territory or to reach another area. It's also possible that the leopard is drawn to the warmth radiated by the sun-heated road surface. Regardless of the exact motive, witnessing this extraordinary event serves as a reminder of the remarkable and unpredictable nature of wildlife.

This lazy leopard was spotted strutting its spots around Kruger National Park โ and we canโt help but stare!
Caught in a game of curious gazes, our spotted friend decided to embrace the limelight, revealing one if itโs many talents: the art of "looking busy" while wandering aimlessly!
With a purposeful expression, it carried on its journey, fooling everyone into thinking it had important leopard business to attend to.
Let's take a page from the leopard's book:
Embrace the power of appearing busy while relishing in the beauty of doing nothing at all this freakishly cold Friday!

#FOMOFriday safari update: Our team just had a heart-pumping encounter with a cheetah on the side of the road. Despite a leg injury, the cheetah showed amazing resilience as it made its way down the road, displaying the true spirit of the African bushveld.
Cheetahs are known for their incredible speed and agility, but they're also incredibly tough animals. Despite their slender build and delicate appearance, they're built to withstand the harsh African environment and tough it out through injuries and setbacks.
This cheetah's will to survive is truly inspiring, and it's a testament to the incredible tenacity of these amazing creatures.

Happy #FomoFriday everyone! Check out this amazing sighting of a lioness with her adorable newborn lion cubs! ๐ฆ๐พ
These little ones were highly curious about their surroundings and are already starting to explore the world around them. Many predatory animals start out as adorable fluffy babies โ often the case with animals known for their ferocity as adults.
These newborn cubs are able to follow their mother from about 3 months of age and rely on her to keep them hidden from other lions for the first two months!
Fun Fact: Newborn lion cubs are born with dark spots that disappear over time as they mature.

Bringing all the fascinating sighting to your home feed this #FOMOFriday. During our latest game drive a peaceful breeding elephant heard was observed by our travelers. It was a breathtaking sight to see these magnificent creatures moving in unison, with their giant bodies swaying with each step.
๐
๐ฎ๐ง ๐๐๐๐ญ: these herds comprise of females of all ages, as well as males that are younger than 15 years old.
When in motion, these herds are led by the eldest (and therefore most experienced) female โ also known as the Matriarch. Often times, there is another experienced female elephant that helps the Matriarch.
Cooperation is fundamental to the herd, with all adults always looking after the herdโs calf โ a perfect example of the famous idiom โIt takes a villageโ. South Africa is home to a multitude of elephants, ranging from great herds of over 100 individuals in the Kruger National Park to smaller breeding herds found in private reserves. These magnificent creatures can be spotted throughout the country, offering a glimpse into their social and family-oriented behavior in the wild.

The next member of our โUgly 5โ series, we have come to know and love as โPumbaโ from the famous animated musical drama, The Lion King.
While ill-favoured in the beauty department, the name โWarthogโ doesnโt exactly scream attractive either. With contorted faces, knobbly features, and skin scattered with wiry hairs, itโs no wonder these fierce fatties made it into the cool club.
In reality, warthogs are not as kind and foolish as they are portrayed in The Lion King. Rather, these speeding machines are considered quite intelligent with a knack for troublesome antics. For example, warthogs steal burrows from other animals (such as the aardvark) to sleep in.
๐
๐ฎ๐ง ๐๐๐๐ญ: warthogs are named after the wart-like structures that protrude from their sizable faces.

This #FOMOFriday, we place the spotlight onto another member of the โ๐๐ ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐โ, our hysterical friend, the ๐ฅ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ (๐ฌ๐ฉ๐จ๐ญ๐ญ๐๐) ๐ก๐ฒ๐๐ง๐!
In all honesty, theyโre not terribly unattractive โ with some appearing quite adorable when in their pup phase. However, with their slightly โhunchbackโ posture, sinister grin, and obsidian-like eyes, itโs no wonder why theyโre the only ones laughing during an encounter.

๐ฎ๐ง ๐๐๐๐ญ: Not only are hyenas one of the most successful predators in Africa but they are also considered extremely โmaternalโ in the wildlife world, with females dominating the males within a clan โ both in strength and status.

When you plan your next visit to South Africa, specifically Cape Town, we encourage all travellers to make a detour through ๐๐ก๐๐ฉ๐ฆ๐๐ง'๐ฌ ๐๐๐๐ค - or 'Chappies' as it's lovingly called - considered one of the various iconic representations of South Africa's coastal beauty.
๐๐ข๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ? Chapmanโs Peak, named after a fellow called John Chapman, was discovered in 1607 when John departed an English Ship called โConsentโ, anchored off the shore of the southern peninsula (in a bay formerly named โChapmans Chaunceโ) to search for provisions.
Years later, the bay was renamed to โHout Bayโ keeping the name โChapmanโ for the most compelling peak at the end of the ridge. In 1915, hundreds of years later, a road was established for the purpose of connecting Hout Bay to Noordhoek - during that era, it was undoubtedly considered an impressive engineering accomplishment.
Presently, Chapman's Peak is not only a beautiful tourist destination or jaw-dropping road trip detour, but it also holds great significance for the locals of Cape Town (also known as โCapetoniansโ). For the residents, this iconic roadway serves as a lifeline that binds communities together and enables the vibrant life on the Southern Peninsula to flourish.
Over the past century, it has paved the way for new prospects and continues to function as an integral passageway, connecting people, businesses, and communities. Its enduring impact is a testament to its personality as a vital artery that breathes life into the Mother City.

Welcoming our #FOMOFriday series โ today we want to showcase the wildest and most unforgettable moments our travellers get to experience while out and about on their safari adventures with us!
Speaking of wild, our full day Moremi Game Reserve game drive did not disappoint! With full-on Impala VS. lion action, travellers were kept on the edge of their seats.
With front-row seats to the unfolding of the circle of life, travellers viewed the king of the bushveld feasting on the male impala, dragging his โcatch of the dayโ deeper into the long grass for some privacy. We managed to capture it all on camera for you to see!
The footage may induce serious FOMO in anyone who loves untamed wildlife. But don't worry, you can always book your own safari with us and experience the magic of the African bushveld for yourself.

Have you ever wondered what it a Mokoro Safari feels like?
Wonder no more. This ๐
๐๐๐ ๐
๐ซ๐ข๐๐๐ฒ we deliver a drool-worthy video capturing a traveller gliding across shallow waters of the scenic Okavango Delta, enjoying a Mokoro Safari in beautiful Botswana.
Mokoro, coming all the way from the 18th century, were traditionally made from the trunk of a straight Sausage tree for the purpose of transportation across the shallow water masses created by the Delta. The pole used to propel and steer the Mokoro is made from a different tree โ the Mogonono tree.
The silent travelling across the Delta by way of Mokoro allows for an immaculate safari experience with a variety of fascinating and unperturbed wildlife within and surrounding the waters to observe from an intimate distance.
Donโt delay experiencing a Mokoro safari โ it is simply one of Botswanaโs best and most traditional safari experiences.

Letโs take a look at what you missed on one of our more private safari packages in the Kruger National Park. In the video captured, one can see an affectionate and curious bull elephant stealing the show.
He comes close to the game drive vehicle, creating a terrifyingly terrific viewing experience for our travellers. The young bull gently observes all those present in the open game drive vehicle before departing in pursuit of a nearby female elephant.
