Nguni Africa Tours

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

This is how a Chameleon crosses the road …. one step at a time #chameleon #reptiles #wildanimals #natgeowild #naturephotography #photooftheday #photo #wildlifephotography #wildlife #outdoorphotography #outdoors #nature #nguniafrica #krugerlowveld

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

The story is unfolding …. having spent over an hour enjoying the lions (in my previous reels) practising their hunting skills on each other, we moved on and found these Wild Dogs running down the road, followed by a lonely Hyena, hoping for an opportunity or a scrap if the dogs made a kill #wilddog #painteddog #endangeredspecies #wild #wildlife_shots #wildlife #wildanimals #wildlifeonearth #natgeowild #natgeo #travel #safari #nguniafrica #gamedrives #kruger

Fun and games are an important part of developing their hunting skills #lion #bigfiveanimals #hunting #play #gamedrive #gamedrives #wildanimals #wildlife_shots #wildlifephotography #natgeo #natgeowild #naturelovers #naturephotography #natural #safari #nguniafrica #kruger #southafrica #outdoors

This is the start of an amazing sighting coming up in my posts, so keep following as we spend time with these lions. The two sub-adults have had their early morning cuddle (see my previous post) and are looking for something to do. Watch how they greet the lioness, bumping heads in a sign of respect #lion #animalbehavior #natgeo #natgeowild #wildlife #animal #game #gamedrivesightings #gamedrives #safari #nguniafrica #kruger

Sitting in silence on safari, listening to the bugs and birds, it’s like an “Orchestra of Silence”, until the trumpet calls #elephants #trumpet #orchestra #soundsofsilence #bush #safari #gamedrives #nguniafrica #kruger #krugerlowveld #southafrica

Understanding animal behaviour is an essential element in your bush skills, allowing close up and friendly sightings of big and dangerous game. This Elephant was so chilled and more interested in “uploading” grass to get in around 300kg of their staple diet required per day. They only utilise about a third of what they eat, hence the huge, partially undigested droppings #elephants #ellie #animalbehavior #wildlife #wildlifeonearth #guidedsafari #safari #nguniafrica #kruger

In the jungle, when the Lion roars tonight … and there are many posts of this scene, but when you are out in the open at night and close up like this, the Lion’s roar rattles everything, even the goosebumps on your skin! Look at the energy that goes into each roar, seemingly the flick of the tail might help to get this heard from kilometres away as he calls to connect with other males in his coalition #lion #lionroar #lionking #predator #big5 #roar #wilderness #wildlife #wild #nature #safari #nguniafrica #kruger
