We picked up audio of a lion calling on our early morning game drive and decided to follow up. As we came closer to where we could hear him we found fresh spoor and after some careful tracking we found him. He was making this contact call and when we heard another lion responding, we followed him until they met up. It’s so rewarding when, after following up on sounds and tracks, to then find the animal, which is a real privilege to be able to do on a private safari #nguniafrica #lion #bigcatsofinstagram #bigcats #bigfive #roar #tracking #sounds #spoor #privatesafari #safari #gamedrive #wildanimals #wildlife #wild #thisissouthafrica

Who enjoys the game of “Snakes and Ladders”? This Brown Water Snake slowly climbs the embankment, while the fly fishing goes on in the background #fishing #fishinglife #fisherman #flyfishing #snake #reptile #reptilesofinstagram #herpetology #wildlife #nguniafrica #privatesafari #krugerlowveld #thisissouthafrica
Turn up the volume and enjoy sitting amid an “Orchestra of Silence”. The bats were plentiful, doing their best to catch all the bugs in the air, while you can hear the Double banded Sandgrouse twittering away while they come to drink at the waters edge. In the background we heard a Leopard roaring in the typical sawing/ chuffing sound they make when patrolling territory #music #orchestra #wildlifeonearth #wildlife #wildlifephotography #wildlifeplanet #nature #naturelovers #natgeotravel #natgeo #birdlife_sa #birdingsouthafrica #birds #nguniafrica

My previous posts have been leading up to this grand finale where we left the Lions hiding in the long grass next to the road and followed the Wild Dog pack back to exactly this spot, Hyena still in tow hoping to pick up a scrap should the dogs catch something. See how the dogs suddenly stop as they smell the danger lurking in the grass somewhere then as they turn their backs the Lions explode from their cover to give chase. Fortunately amid much barking and dust flying, all ran free and there were no injuries #lion #wilddog #hyena #painteddog #endangeredspecies #endangeredwildlifetrust #ewt #natgeowild #natgeowildlife #wildlifephotography #wildlife #wildanimals #wild #naturephotography #nature #animallovers #animals #safari #wildlifesafari #nguniafrica @lazarusmkhonto @jocksafari #kruger #krugerpark #krugernationalpark #southafrica #privatetravel
