Instagram Takeover – Clyde Thomas

Our very own @clydeothomas has spent the last ten days exploring the Kruger National Park from the comfort of @andbeyondkirkmanskamp and @andbeyondngala. He was kind enough to share the highlights of his trip in an awesome #IATakeover. Just in case you missed it on Instagram, scroll down here, for a sneak peek at some of the wonderful encounters he’s had over the last couple of days. #southafrica #bigfive #safari

Arrived at @andbeyondkirkmanskamp in the Sabi Sands and was greeted by this delicious pumpkin bread ensemble with spicy chili, butter and olive spread. #iatakeover @clydeothomas @andbeyondtravel #safari #luxury #sabisands #&beyond #delicious #bread #pumkin

Our first drive @andbeyondkirkmanskamp delivered the goods with a female leopard walking down the road on our way home. Here she was investigating the scent markings of another female encroaching on her territory. #sabisands #leopard #safari #krugernationalpark #kruger #iatakeover

The evening sun lit up the grass of the #krugernationalpark on our afternoon game drive through the @andbeyondkirkmanskamp #sabisands. The impala are looking clean and healthy with shinny pelts in the green grass of summer. #impala #kruger #safari

It is always an experience seeing Africa's beautiful White Rhino come to drink. This Rhino was a bit shy and wouldn't lie down to cool off from the summer heat while we were watching, but you could see he wanted to. @andbeyondkirkmanskamp #sabisands #kruger #rhino #southafrica @southafrica #safari

There is nothing like a gin and tonic to end off a day in Africa. @andbeyondkirkmanskamp has a selection of delicious gins to choose from to accompany your sunset in the African bushveld. #safari #luxurysafari #iatakeover #krugernationalpark #kruger #sabisands #gin #ginandtonic

Kirkmans Kamp in the #sabisands has a number of #giraffe herds wondering through the lush summer vegetation. We find them mazing their tongues around thorny trees to get the tasty leaves. #kruger #safari #luxurysafari #southafrica

The summer birds are in full flight here in the #sabisands. It is such a joy to see all our migrants enjoying the hot, green summer days in #africa #iatakeover #kruger #krugernationalpark #bird #birdsofinstagram #birds #krugerbirds #birdwatching

This hang tooth lion is one half of the Charlestown brothers coalition that can be seen in @sabisabireserve and @lionsandsgamereserve. He is beautiful, powerful and distinctive. His wound is said to have come from a giraffe kick. #kruger #sabisands #luxurylifestyle #luxurysafari #africa #lion #lionking

The morning light in the #sabisands is beautiful. It makes taking great #safari photos easy. Positioned on the sand river @andbeyondkirkmanskamp is one of our favorite summer lodges in South Africa for a #photographicsafari #kruger #krugernationalpark #southafrica #zebra

There is nowhere in the world better to see leopards than in the #sabisands game reserve in the #krugernationalpark . We have seen four leopards, six times in five days. #luxurysafari #leopard #safari #southafrica #gosouthafrica @southafrica @andbeyondtravel @igerswildlife @capturethewild @africa_geo @igscwildlife @natgeowild #africageographic

The elephants of @andbeyondngala love to drink out of the camp pool on a hot #krugernationalpark day. Guests are treated to an amazing show whenever they come down to drink. Just don't get caught in the pool with an #elephant towering over you. #iatakeover #gosouthafrica #wowsouthafrica #luxurysafari #kruger #timbavati #timbavatiwildlifepark

The #lions of @andbeyondngala have two sets of cubs a few months apart. It is unbelievable to watch them play and tussle with each other, and sometimes dream of climbing trees like the #lions of the #serengeti. #krugernationalpark #tanzania #masaaimara #kruger #timbavatigamereserve @wowsouthafrica @gosouthafrica @andbeyondtravel #lioncubs #cubs #africa #southafrica #instagood #instalike #instadaily #photooftheday

The #leopard man of @andbeyondngala , Fanny, can spot a leopard in a tree at 500 paces and intimately knows each of the leopards that can be found on the reserve. He fell in love with leopards while exploring the bush with his father as a young boy. He recalls the first leopard he saw, perched in a tree and describes it as a beautiful flower on a bush. @andbeyondtravel #krugernationalpark #kruger #timbavatiwildlifepark #timbavati @igerssouthafrica @southafricaanz @leopardtrails @natgeotravel @natgeo

A Kudu bull is one of the most majestic creatures one can find in the African bush. His magnificent horns and powerful neck framed by the clean white lines on his tan body leave little doubt about the beauty of this animal. #krugernationalpark #kruger #sabisands #kudu #horns @wildlifesouthafrica @wildlifeonearth #igersoftheday #igerswildlife #green

Hunting and eating is thirsty work in the #krugernationalpark. This growing pride takes a break with siblings and cousins @andbeyondngala in the #timbavati. Music White Dawn by @musicbyscottb Watch how the one little cub struggles to find a space between his older cousins and moves around next to his brothers. #lions @andbeyondtravel @lylemccabe @igerssouthafrica #hot #kruger #cubs #lioncub #travelandBeyond
