We spotted Vultures in the trees and walked in to see why. The Mandavu pride lionesses letting us know the cubs were in the area. We sat with them for a bit, they calmed down and we departed. Mutondo Safaris

Elephants drinking at Mandavu Dam.

16/05/2024

As we embark on a new season, the landscape of Hwange and its surrounding regions is undergoing a profound transformation due to the current drought gripping Southern Africa. The warming El Niño climate pattern is siphoning heat from the Pacific, resulting in below-average rainfall in our area. This early onset of dry conditions has already spurred the return of wildlife to the North of Hwange, with animals flocking back months ahead of schedule.

One notable presence is the significant number of elephants congregating around our camp, reminding us of the challenges and wonders that come with the dry season. In years like this, elephants often venture closer to camps in search of water, occasionally causing damage in their quest to quench their thirst. It’s evident that we’re in for an intriguing season ahead.

The Mandavu Dam lion pride continues to captivate our attention, their resonant roars echoing through the night as they laze by the spring in front of camp. Last season’s prolific mating activities have yielded promising results, with recent tracks indicating the arrival of new cubs. While we eagerly anticipate catching a glimpse of these additions, their presence adds to the allure of our surroundings.

Among the recent highlights in our game viewing adventures was a thrilling spectacle involving painted dogs chasing an impala into camp. The impala’s daring leap into the spring, followed by the patient wait of the dogs before retrieving their prey, provided our guests with a front-row seat to nature’s drama.

In other exciting news, we extend a warm welcome to Roy Majachani, our new Camp Manager. Roy brings a wealth of experience and an infectious smile to our team, and he has wasted no time in immersing himself in his new role. We’re confident that under his leadership, Camp Chitubu will continue to thrive and provide unforgettable experiences for our guests.

As we navigate the dry conditions ahead, we anticipate an exceptional season of game viewing in Hwange and its surrounds. We look forward to sharing these experiences with you and creating lasting memories together.

We’ve been saying it for a while… here they are. The newest cubs of the Mandavu pride. My last guests and I got to see them twice. The second time, about a hundred meters outside camp! Mutondo Safaris #campchitubu

Masuma hide that overlooks Masuma Dam in the Sinamatella area of Hwange is a magical spot. I have spent countless hours over the last fifteen years in this hide sitting, watching and waiting. You have to have patience on safari ! On my last safari my guests and I had just returned from a two hour morning walk in the hills and granite outcrops to the East of the Dam. We had spent much of that two hour walk following behind an Elephant Bull as he went about his day feeding. Such a thrill to walk twenty meters behind a massive Hwange Elephant Bull down a path. If the wind is right and he doesn’t hear or see you, you can follow Bulls like this for hours. After the walk we headed into Masuma hide to have some refreshment, we had set up and were enjoying lemon cake and tea when in noticed a slight movement out to the right in the scrub Mopane. The silhouette had me excited.. I lifted my binos and there it was. A leopard , sitting in the shade watching the waterhole. We all were watching it now as I had pointed out to everyone its whereabouts. It moved towards the dam and then veered slightly right to one of the spring holes the Elephants dig. It disappeared and I knew it was drinking. We kept our eyes on the spot and soon enough it came out and moved towards the tree line at the back of the dam. There were Impala on the far side that it looked to heading towards. It mad steady progress round the dam, stopping a few times to lie down and investigate a scent. The leopard was about half way round the dam when a herd of Zebra came in on the left side to drink. We had a look at them but soon were all watching the Leopard again. Suddenly all the Zebra bolt and the sound of this makes us look that way, a lioness has burst out the thicket closest the Zebra. Zebra are very quick of the mark and they manage to get away from the lioness who gives up quite quickly. She sneaks back to the thicket and immediately goes into ambush position again. We now have a Leopard making its
