The highlight of the week must have been the Ntsevu pride taking down an adult wildebeest a stone’s throw from the Londolozi camps. It was almost completely devoured within 10 …
I was recently asked in the comments section of one of my blog posts on the whereabouts of the Tatowa female. Quite honestly, she hadn’t really crossed my mind since …
