  • A stunning lioness, captured just after sunset — her golden coat glowing in the fading light. Eyes sharp, ears perked, she stands on high alert, ready to face whatever the night may bring. The calm before the hunt, the beauty before the storm. Nature’s queen, fierce and graceful, ruling the twilight with quiet power. A breathtaking moment in the wild, where survival meets elegance. 🦁

“To celebrate our 12.5th anniversary we made a trip through South Africa with the icing on the cake 5 days Safari.  Today the last day in Ximuwu, an unforgettable experience where service and your personal wishes are number one. We spotted the big 5 and so much more.
