Bateleur's Nest Lodge
Bateleur's Nest is a magnificent, safari lodge situated in the Greater Kruger National Park.
Lovely to see this yellow-billed oxpecker in action, working symbiotically with the buffalo! The oxpecker gets a meal while helping keep the buffalo free from parasites. A perfect example of harmony in the wild!
Happy World Lion's Day!
Look at this beautiful Waterbuck mother and baby! With lower rainfall this year, our dam has reduced in size, attracting around 20 Waterbucks near the water every day.
This sweet little African Scops Owl was perched 3m from our Bush Bistro this morning!
This magnificent male leopard is spending quite a lot of time near the lodge. We are so lucky!
Happy Hippo Day!
Baby hippo startles elephant in a heartwarming wildlife encounter. Nature's surprises, beautifully unexpected.
This photo of a jacana was so picture-perfect, we transformed it into a painting.
Enjoying a sand bath!
Embracing the magic of the season as the impalas welcome adorable new additions!!!
A whisky and cigar is the perfect way to relax and enjoy a good conversation! You know where to find us......
We have had so much rain and we can now say our dam is full!!!! Maybe a little too full!!!
Sometimes its great just to sit in the mud! . .
We enjoyed a visit from a few k**b-billed ducks and white faced ducks!
Always such a treat to see Wild Dogs. This pack was super impressive with about 10 young dogs and about 10 adults! . .
Welcome to Bateleur's Nest little guy!
Emergency Landing......
A beautiful time of the year! The bush is dry and in need of rain and yet the bright, yellow k**b thorn trees brighten up the landscape.
