Punda Maria | Taking it slow | Northern Kruger
Join me on this memorable trip as I explore the 2 national parks that are in the very north of the country.
Part 1: Mazhou Camp, Mapungubwe National Park
Part 2 (This episode): Punda Maria Rest Camp, Kruger National Park
Punda Maria never disapoints! But this time it has exceeded my expectations. The hide in camp was the highlight with so many animals visiting the waterhole. Once again, the elephants were the stars of the show. Finding a big lion pride and wild dogs was such an unexpected bonus!
The botanical diversity of the Punda Maria area is unrivalled in Kruger and driving along the Mahonie loop and the road along the Levuvhu River is some of the most scenic in Kruger. I enjoyed driving in the mornings and sitting in the hide in the afternoons.
------------------------------------------------------------
The trip starts off at Mapungubwe where It's my first time staying at the Mazhou Campsite in Mapungubwe National Park. 3 days later it was time to explore Punda Maria in Kruger National Park. What I really enjoyed on this trip are the hides at each camp! The Maloutswa hide is about 3km from camp and the hide inside the Punda Maria Rest Camp was great as you could sit in the hide 24/7.
The theme of this entire trip was Elephants. Elephants came into camp to welcome me at Mazhou, then I came within touching distance at the Maloutswa hide, then had ellies within 10m from my braai, with no fence in between. At Punda Maria, the elephants trumpeting me to sleep and their antics at the waterhole were so entertaining!
If you are wondering what birding app I used in the video for the visual reference, it was the Roberts Bird Guide 2. Check out their new Bird Games in the latest update.

After hearing about Sable Sleepover Hide, my son wanted to go. So we changed our annual father & son camping weekend and made a plan to visit during the winter (July 2022) in order to avoid the heat and mosquitos. We only had a weekend to visit, so we started off at Letaba for 1 night and then went to Sable Sleepover Hide the next day (You are limited to book the hide for 1 night at a time). So...

Awnnnt😍😍😍😍
Why don't you picture takers ever help save these babies? What about helping nature? What a jerk. Its blood is on your hands.
Animals seem to have more humanity the most humans these days, even though that little honey badger was probably a snack.❤
Hurts my heart. I'd love to think this had a Disney movie ending but...
The amount of delusional people here... baby got ate. 🤦♂️ People seriously need to stop anthropomorphizing animals, you got Darwinism at work people jumping into pens thinking the animals are cute to end up getting mauled.
El león lo llego a matar...
He smelled the air and followed his nose and dropped the badger off or at least close by! I just hope the momma comes back for it or yeah ,it wont make it and the demons will eat it tonight ,you know the scavengers 😢
He’s definitely knows it’s a baby and being so gentle with it
It 100% got bored and ate it after. It's just how it is. If not him and he did bring it back to the pride another did. They don't tolerate babies
At the last moment you here him snap the baby he killed it
Just falling in and out of the mouth of death!!¡¡!ï
Словно маме малыша понес..понюхал малыша, потом воздух и пошел в нужном направлении
❤
He was looking for mama❤
You couldn't do anything for the little fella?
Yall realize the lions gonna eat it
That face he was like F now I gotta take care of em
На до же как нежно
Hermoso bocadillo.
Guess no matter the breed all cats have the incessant need to poke things with their paws to investigate
Ecel gelmeden kimse ölmez...
Adds that to cooking soup pot
Oh wow! A chicken nugget!
Чтобы его не поранить, осторожно взял его в пасть и перенес в траву с дороги
Il a bon coeur ce prince qui deviendra un bon roi
He ate it 😮
A Little Snack Before My Afternoon Nap 😩😩😩
❤❤❤❤❤❤ благородный лев😊😊😊
Чипс😢
He snaps its neck at the end. Cats play with their food and get a scent first, then they kill it.
I would like to know if the male lion ate the baby honey badger or if you took it and tried to raise it himself and it just died on its own
It looks like it's searching for a scruff to pick it up by.
Okay that's nice but did momma ever come out and care for her cub?
Такие смешанные чувства...
Como quedó al final, hubo comida o cena????
Aww he was scuffing but he was making sure the baby wasnt harmed.
Provavelmente ele comeu o pequeno texugo e isso o vídeo não mostrou( melhor assim).
Звери люди!😊
Я всегда знал что они не звери ❤
Somewhere under that fierce exterior, the lion showed some compassion to the baby, who knows maybe he remembers when he was little And vulnerable🦁❤👍
I tought is gonna to eat 😢
Как так
KFC 🍗
Los animales benditos!!!
Snack
Are pple saying they didnt hear de lion crush de badger with his teeth?😳
I was actually waiting for it to try and pick a fight with the lion...
A little midnight snack later... Trying to keep it fresh
❤
Cute
