This magnificent male Leopard (Panthera pardus) was seen near Orpen gate. He was on a mission and not ready to pose for that magic photo shot.

Breakfast in Kruger Park ala "Painted Dogs" (lycaon pictus)

African Wild Dog making a kill

Three days ago guests were lucky enough to follow and witness a pack of African Wild Dogs chase down and kill an Impala, in the Orpen gate area.

"If you go down to the woods to-day you are sure of a big suprise!"

Yes we have been building and added on a new dinning area and bar next to the pool.

It really is fantastic!! See our website www.timbavatisafarilodge.com

Some guests have all the luck!!

It was a slow day in the Kruger National Park, but while shooting a video of a young giraffe doing what giraffes do.

A very hungry lion suddenly lept out the grass and attacked the giraffe!! Right there before their eyes!! First hand, no second hand experiences for these guys.

As quick as it started it ended and the giraffe collapsed and the lion was no longer a hungry lion.

Thanks to the lucky couple who witnessed this, and sent us some clips. Thankyou.

Just something to think about..................
