The Week in Pictures 741 – Londolozi Blog

[ad_1]

There is still a lot of water around Londolozi! With all the excess water, it has made for some unreal photographic opportunities. The greenery, accompanied by epic sunrises and sunsets, has been an absolute dream. The wildlife have also followed suit and provided us with some memorable moments over the past week.

Lions have been all over the property. The two Kambula Females that have been hanging around the northern parts of Londolozi have moved back south towards their old territory. The Mhangeni Pride have allowed us to view their extremely cute four new cubs. Around three months old, they already have a lot of attitude! The Southern Black Dam Male has spent a bit of time on Londolozi and is looking rather impressive.

The Tinxiya Female, now fully independent, has been seen in and around the Maxabene. Although the Shingi Male has still been seen with Nkoveni from time to time, he is showing promising signs of being totally fine without her. Managing to kill a fully grown impala. The Xhinkova Female is spending more and more time around camps, expanding her territory constantly.

The pack of two keep popping up, causing havoc around our airstrip, while the male cheetah has also been seen a couple of times. Both Wild Dog and Cheetah are always extremely exciting.

All the animals are loving the amount of water around, especially the elephants. Watching them get excited around water will always be one of my favourite things to watch.

It’s been an interesting and eventful week!

Let us know in the comments which images are your favourite.

Enjoy the Week in Pictures…
