With plenty of rain falling in recent times, the bush and all its inhabitants have been out in full force again this week!
It has been a couple of weeks since our last update and hope you have all enjoyed some holiday time and wishing everyone a wonderful !! Herewith the highlights from the past two weeks on safari….
Our week got off to an amazing start with a very uncommon sight of a big bull elephant sleeping on its side! What a lucky sighting! View Lodge. Bush Lodge Here the tradition of warm African hospitality greets you, endless views of the African bush surround you and every whim is anticipated in the harmonious family of 'Today's' Bush Lodge.
Little Bush Camp Pure excellence is at the heart of this intimate hideaway on the banks of the Msuthlu riverbed, surrounded only by the sounds of the wild and the unending view of the unspoilt bushveld. But while the national park itself is perfect for self-drive safaris and budget package tours, the adjacent private reserves offer a more exclusive safari experience. Guests are typically hosted in sumptuous small lodges offering luxury overnight safaris inclusive of world-class cuisine, attentive service, and expertly guided game drives in open vehicles.
Fences between these reserves and the national park have all been dropped to form one vast ecosystem allowing the free movement of wildlife. Big Five viewing is superb throughout Greater Kruger, and the private reserves are unmatched when it comes to regular close-up sightings of big cats. Find below the best private game reserves bordering Kruger national park :.
The area is renowned for its excellent wildlife viewing in open safari vehicles that can head off-road for close-up encounters. Although animals move freely within Greater Kruger, many highly habituated individuals are resident in Sabi Sands. Wildlife viewing is out of this world, as might be expected of a reserve sandwiched between game-rich southern Kruger and Sabi Sands.
Furthermore, where other reserves bordering Kruger comprise a mosaic of smaller properties with cross-traversing rights, the pristine bush of MalaMala is exclusive to guests hosted in three small luxury lodges.
As a result, high-quality sightings of all the Big Five can be enjoyed without having to make space for other visitors. Leopard enthusiasts are in for a special treat: not only are these usually shy creatures incredibly common in the riverine forest of MalaMala, but they also tend to be very relaxed.
Manyeleti differs from other private reserves bordering Kruger in that it is owned and managed by the local Mnisi community. Visitor numbers are low, and with over km of gravel roads to explore, guests often feel like they have the place to themselves. All the Big Five are present, but the absence of permanent water means that animal densities are lower and big cat sightings less reliable than in some neighbouring reserves.
There are fewer lodges and camps in Timbavati than in Sabi Sand, so it tends to be quieter and has a wilder atmosphere. The reserve is famous for its white lions, but these are not commonly seen - though you might well spot pale individuals that carry this recessive genetic variant. The lodge is contemporary in design, with a warmth and vibrancy that sees guests returning time and again.
All of the luxury suites look out onto the bush and are luxuriously furnished. Sabi Sabi Map.
