Can you believe that this is the last Week in Pictures of November? Before you know it we will be well into December and Christmas will be just around the corner.
This week has seen a hive of activity, for the most part from still having wild dogs around and enjoying them playing on the airstrip on a cool cloudy morning. Zebra foals seem to be around every corner. Taking time to slow down and notice the small things can always do wonders.
We enjoy time with a chameleon as it reaches the other side of the road after being exposed out in the open. The colours and contrast are stunning as it slowly shifts back to a full emerald green colour.
The Thamba Male is growing into a fine male leopard. The menacing Senegal Bush Male manages to secure himself a meal for a few days after catching an impala and is then seen later on another even patrol. A Ndzhenga Male and Ntsevu Sub-adult Male make up the lion contingent this week.
Enjoy this week in Pictures…
Let us know your favourite image in the comments below.
This zebra foal has been keeping many of us entertained for the last 3 weeks. Its excitement is both hilarious and adorably contagious.
This wild dog kept a watchful eye out for danger as the rest of the pack devoured not one but two impalas!
As the ground becomes saturated with more rainfall, lillies such as this extraordinary African Blood Lily (Scadoxus multiflous) break the ground. They grow so quickly that they almost appear to have popped up overnight. The blossoms last between one and two weeks.
This Zebra leads her newborn foal to the relative safety of a nearby crest as the sun dips below the horizon.
Nyala bulls are impressive-looking antelope and sport a great set of horns. However, in this particular scene, it was the dappled light falling over his face that made for a beautiful image.
After a stormy evening the Senegal Bush Male had managed to catch himself an impala and stash it in a marula tree.
He spent the next few days feasting on his cache.
Another summertime beauty, this standalone Ipomea or Morning glory is a beautiful flower that floods up during the evening and unfolds every morning to greet teh sunshine, hence its name.
Constantly playing it is always entertaining to spend time with a bunch of wild dogs.
The Thamba Male gazes up toward his impala kill which he had draped in the branches of a marula. The last time I saw this male was toward the end of 2019 as he wandered through the reserve as a young, nomadic male. he now holds a considerable territory to the west of Londolozi.
After a quick water break, this Ntsevu Sub-adult returned to help his brothers and sister finish off a buffalo that they had killed in the Sand River right next to camp! Ntsevu sub-adult males are growing rapidly and have done well to get by in the same area they grew up in and are now becoming highly effective hunters.

One of the many giraffes hanging around the airstrip.
A fearsome set of eyes loomed out of the darkness as the Senegal Bush Male continued past our vehicle on yet another territorial patrol.
Initially seen as a young male in 2016, this leopard only properly established territory on Londolozi in mid-2019

With the flush of greenery, grazing animals such as zebra thrive. Many have given birth to the next generation of striped stunners.
