18 WILD DOGS AND 2 LEOPARDS

As we headed out on our early morning game drive we watched the sun rising through the mist hanging between the Jackalberry and Palm trees. We crossed over a deep channel, enough to get your feet wet and onto an island that held many surprises and awesome sightings! We found lion tracks, heard monkeys and baboons alarm calling, we even found a Spotted...

NEW YEAR'S DAY

What a treat for big game lovers. Seeing lions at &Beyond's Xaranna Okavango Delta Camp is always a rewarding sight. We had two sightings today – one on the island in front of the camp with two females and a young male, and North East towards the bridge where the big boys are enjoying the day under a shady Jackal-Berry tree. What a way to start...

ENDANGERED SPECIES

It’s not often that we get to see rare and endangered birds, but when we do, it’s an amazing experience!  We went on an afternoon safari hoping to see some lions. Within five minutes, we saw a pair of Southern Ground Hornbills. One had something in its beak that looked like a snake and after we left the them, just within a minute or so we...

THE BOYS ARE BACK

I always find the last game drive with guests the most special. We were driving past a dam filled with hippos and the sun was slowly getting behind the clouds, the hippos found it to be the perfect temperature to leave the dam to go for a morning snack! As we had stopped to view the hippos, we heard some alarm calls from impala just in front of us....

THE RETURN

Our day started at 05.00 this morning and by 05.15 we were out of the camp. It was me, Radi and Oscar, and we decided to drive as far as we could to try and get to see what we have been missing in areas that we don't go to every day. By 06.30, we had travelled a long distance and just as I looked on to my left, I just shouted, "Leopard! Oh, Oh!...

1st SEPTEMBER, 1st FLAMIGOS, 1st LEOPARD...

I was privileged enough to take one of the &Beyond Directors, Kevin and his family (Ashley and Alex) on game drive. We were mainly birding and it was a good morning. We went into one of the islands, which we can only access when the water level is low. Today the water level was just reducing. So, we did not know what to expect as we had only driven...
