Some places stay with you for reasons that are hard to explain.

Maybe it’s the quiet mornings, the endless riverbeds, the warm evening light and those sunsets that make you stop talking for a while. Maybe it’s a gin & tonic on a sunset drive, or coming back to the lodge and ending the evening around the fire, where strangers slowly turn into familiar faces.

Sometimes it’s not even the sightings you remember most, but the little moments in between.

The crackling fire. The stories. The laughter. The silence of the bush. And yes — a few mirror pictures had to happen too. 🤎

Kruger has this way of making everything feel a little slower, a little softer, a little more alive.

Thank you for the beautiful stay, the people I met and all the little moments in between.

There are places you visit… and then there are places that make you completely forget about the outside world. 🌿

Kruger Untamed was exactly that for me. @krugeruntamed

No constant notifications. No scrolling. Wi-Fi only in the main area and no phone signal — and somehow, that became one of my favourite luxuries.

Instead, you fall into the rhythm of the bush.

You wake up surrounded by nature, spend your days out on safari, and at night, you crawl into your tent knowing that the wilderness is right there with you. You hear the animals in the darkness, the sounds of the bush replacing everything you’re normally used to hearing.

And then there were those little moments I loved so much: a wonderfully warm bucket shower after a day out in the wild, wrapping myself in a cosy bathrobe afterwards, and settling into my tent feeling completely removed from everyday life.

It’s rustic, but incredibly comfortable.
Simple, but special.
Wild, yet somehow so peaceful.

The camp itself has such a beautiful atmosphere — from the incredibly warm staff and delicious food to the views across the bush and the feeling that wildlife could wander past at any moment.

And the pool overlooking the wilderness? The perfect finishing touch. 🤎

But what stayed with me most wasn’t one particular sighting or one game drive.

It was the feeling of slowing down.

Of being present.

Of realising how little you actually need when you’re surrounded by something this extraordinary.

Kruger Untamed is one of those stays I would recommend wholeheartedly — especially if you’re looking for a safari that feels less like simply visiting the bush and more like actually living in it for a little while.

Wild. Grounded. Beautifully uncomplicated.

Exactly the kind of travel I love sharing with my clients. 🤎

There’s just something magical about sunsets in Africa. 🌅🦒

Especially when a few giraffes casually walk through the savannah, perfectly framed by that golden evening light. Moments like these make you stop, watch, and just take it all in.

Could happily watch this every night.🇿🇦🧡

Loving these gentle giants. 🐘 There’s something about spending time with elephants—watching their behaviour, their quiet interactions, and those little moments of personality. Not always the easiest subjects to photograph, but endlessly rewarding.

Sixth time back in Kruger National Park and still, always something special. 🇿🇦🐾

I just love the self-drives here. 🚙 I didn’t have any crazy sightings this time — although I did have some really nice ones, so maybe I’m just a little spoiled by now. 😅 But this trip wasn’t really about chasing the big sightings anyway. I came back to enjoy the little moments, photograph the small things and simply be in the bush again.

A little insight into my stay: Lower Sabie, Skukuza Rest Camp, sleeping in bungalows and tents, early mornings and very long days on the road. From around 5:30am until 6pm sometimes. Tiring? Definitely. And of course, a flat tire had to be part of the adventure as well. 🛞😂 But I wouldn’t want it any other way.

Stopping at rest camps and picnic spots, checking the sighting boards, taking bush toilet breaks, following random roads just because they feel right and never really knowing what might be around the next corner. That easygoing Kruger vibe is something I just can’t get enough of. 🌿

And then the nights… sleeping in a tent, hearing lions roaring or hyenas calling somewhere in the darkness, with the stars above you. 🦁✨ Those moments really are something special.

I also went back to Kruger Park Hostel, where I volunteered for four weeks three years ago. It was so nice being back and seeing familiar faces again. Such lovely people doing an amazing job there. 🤎 If you want to experience Kruger on a budget, definitely a place to keep in mind. @krugerpark_hostel

Of course, I also tried tracking again. 🐾 Hyenas, leopards, lions… found some tracks, followed them, got excited — never found the animals, by tracking. 😂

But I think that’s also what I love about Kruger. You never really know what you’re going to find. Sometimes you spend hours looking for something and find absolutely nothing — and then something completely unexpected makes your day.

Flying out of Skukuza with Airlink to Joburg and then back to Zurich ✈️ — tired, happy and already thinking about when I’ll be back.

Thank you for having me for the sixth time, Kruger. 🐾🤎
Definitely not the last.

Just a casual morning with giraffes in the Kruger National Park. 🦒

There’s something so peaceful about watching these beautiful animals move gracefully through the African bush. The soft morning light, the calm atmosphere, and the elegance of every step make moments like these truly unforgettable.

Nature at its finest.🇿🇦
