The Tiger Safari 2014

We are just a few short weeks away from the Tiger Safari 2014!  With all the excitement from last years safari still fresh in our memories, I cannot wait to see what these magnificent cats have in store for us this year.  Keep an eye on the blog for our day-to-day updates which as always, will include a selection of images taken on the day.

Have a look at the video from last years safari to give you a good idea of what to expect, and keep in mind that there are not many spaces available of the 2015 safari, so be sure to book early to guarantee your opportunity to see and photograph wild bengal tigers!

Botswana: The Okavango Delta Safari video

Heading into Botswana’s Okavango Delta is always a special experience.  The combination of land and water based safaris, as well as the incredible bio-diversity it has to offer mean that you always leave the safari feeling like you won.

Botswana: Okavango Delta Safari 2013: Day 10

The mood is always a little bit sombre on the final morning, but was picked up substantially by a great surprise – a rare sable antelope.  A large male sable popped out of the bushes right next to us, and then had the courtesy to let us follow him for a good 20 minutes!  After the sable had left us, we went back to see what the situation was with the leopard and her tsessebe kill.  She had brought the kill down the tree and was quietly munching away on the floor, giving us a good clear view.  A wattled crane and 2 large herds of elephants with little babies drinking sealed off a great safari!

Major sightings of the day:

  • Sable antelope
  • Female leopard feeding on kill
  • Wattled crane
  • 2 large herds of elephants drinking

Botswana: Okavango Delta Safari 2013: Day 9

Leopards ruled the day, in particular, a female leopard who was working her way slowly through a baby tsessebe kill.  She was up and down different trees, giving us great opportunities to photograph her.  We also got to spend around 2 hours with 3 large male lions, who were on the move.  In between all the cat action, we saw elephants numbering in the hundreds!  Good bird sightings as well as great general game rounded off a fantastic day.

Major sightings of the day:

  • Female leopard in tree with kill
  • 3 male lions
  • Hundreds of elephants
  • Good general game
  • Female leopard

Botswana: Okavango Delta Safari 2013: Day 8

A day that starts with 17 wild dogs chasing 3 hyenas is never really going to be a bad day!  This action was all on our way to enjoy an amazing makoro experience. These traditional canoes take you quietly through the waters of the Okavango Delta, giving you a close-up look at the smaller animals.  A large herd of buffalo met us at the end of the makoro experience, quickly followed by a herd of elephants.  The day closed off with a female leopard in a tree with a kill and a relaxed african wild cat.

Major sightings of the day:

  • 17 wild dogs (8 pups) chasing 3 hyena
  • Large herd of buffalo
  • Herd of elephants drinking
  • Good general game
  • Small herd of elephants
  • Female leopard with kill in tree
  • African wild cat
