Take a look at the newly refreshed Singita Lebombo Lodge in South Africa's Kruger National Park.

Set within Singita's exclusive concession, the lodge has been carefully evolved, with each change intentionally deepening its spirit rather than changing its essence. The result is a safari experience that feels both contemporary and timeless.

For those who have stayed at a Singita lodge before, Lebombo captures and elevates the qualities that make these high-end and deeply nurturing safari experiences so memorable. And for those yet to experience Singita, it offers a beautiful introduction to one of Africa's most iconic safari brands.

An intriguing sighting in the Olderkesi Conservancy, bordering the Masai Mara, Kenya.

A single hyena working to break down and consume the bones of a male buffalo carcass.

Often demonised and poorly understood, hyenas play a vital role in maintaining the health of the Masai Mara ecosystem. By consuming carrion, bones, and other organic remains, they help curb insect infestations, recycle valuable nutrients back into the soil, and reduce the risk of disease spreading through the environment.

One of Africa's most effective clean-up crews at work. Interesting how this one is working alone.

For photographers, Mana Pools National Park, spanning more than 542,000 acres, remains one of Africa’s most rewarding safari destinations.

Few places offer such a diverse range of photographic opportunities. From eye-level elephant photography at Kanga Expeditions' renowned hide and intimate encounters on foot, to dramatic wildlife scenes along the Zambezi River and the park's iconic winterthorn forests.

In our latest photo gallery, travel photographers Britt and Tommy Joyce share a collection of images that showcase the wildlife, landscapes, and experiences that make Mana Pools so distinctive.

Discover why this UNESCO World Heritage Site continues to attract photographers from around the world.

At Kanga Expeditions, the safari often comes to you.

Overlooking Kanga Pan in the heart of Mana Pools National Park, this remote camp offers a very different safari experience to the park's famous riverfront. During the dry season, wildlife gathers at the pan from miles around, creating remarkable opportunities to simply sit back and watch nature unfold.

Elephants drinking at eye level. Colourful birdlife visiting the water's edge. The possibility of predators arriving unexpectedly. It is one of the reasons Kanga has become a favourite among wildlife photographers and travellers looking for a more immersive wilderness experience.

Combined with exceptional guiding, big game walking safaris, and the renowned Kanga Photographic Hide, Kanga Expeditions showcases a quieter, wilder side of Mana Pools that we believe is truly special.

An elephant bull steps into the morning light at , South Africa.

Unlike the larger breeding herds led by matriarchs, older male elephants can often be found alone or loosely associated with other bulls, living far more nomadic lives.

These bachelor groups can play an important role in elephant social structure, with older dominant bulls helping younger adolescent males learn behaviour, boundaries, and hierarchy.

A quieter and often overlooked side of elephant behaviour to observe on safari. When travelling, we would highly recommend asking your guide more about these social structures. They are fascinating to understand and observe in the wild.

Next stop, Phinda Forest Lodge.

Possibly one of the most unique safari lodges in South Africa, the lodge is nestled within the rare and endangered Sand Forest biome. Just 3,000 hectares of this ancient forest remain, with helping to protect around 1,000 hectares (2,471 acres) of it within the reserve.

There is an immediate sense of calm here. The lodge’s distinctive Zulu-Zen design reflects both the region’s vibrant local culture and the slower rhythm of the forest itself.

Built carefully beneath the canopy to minimise environmental impact, Phinda Forest Lodge blends naturally into its surroundings while still offering a deeply comfortable and refined safari experience.

A very different change of pace within Phinda’s wilderness.

As the sun rose higher and the morning slowly warmed, our guide explained that this is often the perfect time to find cheetah moving through Phinda’s thornveld savanna landscape in the southern sections of the reserve.

As larger predators begin settling into the shade to rest, the more vulnerable cheetah can use this time to move more freely while avoiding potential conflict.

Only a few moments later, we caught our first glimpse of this male cheetah crossing the road towards a more open area.

One of the things we particularly appreciated at Phinda was how sightings were not simply “found,” but explained and understood through behaviour, habitat, timing, and patience.

Lions Playing at Phinda.

Earlier that morning, we had spent a long time sitting in silence watching a sub-adult lion crouched low in the thickets, patiently attempting to hunt with no success.

So we thoroughly enjoyed this lighter moment afterwards, as two lions played together and released some energy before eventually moving onto a rocky outcrop where we could no longer follow.

Watch beyond the playful interaction and you’ll notice a glimpse of the same patience, focus, and intensity she had shown earlier that morning.

Phinda is truly a special reserve. 🦏

During our stay at Phinda Mountain Lodge, sightings of rhino and even entire crashes gradually became “just part of the drive.”

But with the understanding of how hard conservation teams and their partners are working to protect this endangered species across Africa, seeing so many individuals moving freely through Phinda’s wilderness felt overwhelmingly special to witness.

For travellers hoping to see rhino in the wild, while also learning more about conservation efforts on the ground, Phinda Private Game Reserve remains one of South Africa’s most rewarding safari destinations to explore.
