Kruger Park Safari with Sanjay and Sarah 27 - 30 December 2011 Day 1 -4

We picked up Sanjay and friend from Johannesburg International airport and made our way in an easterly direction to Nelspruit and then onto the "Numbi Gate" of the Kruger National Park".


After giving guests time to have some lunch, it was out on there first game drive. While on the drive, good sightings of rhino, impala, kudu and elephant were seen. Guests returned to camp and enjoyed a good meal in the camps restaurant.


The next morning, it was up early and after enjoying tea and coffee, it was out of the camp at 04h30. The day turned out to be a quite day on the cat front, with still good sightings of rhino, elephant and buffalo being seen from the "big five", and numerous antelope species also being experienced. Guests had a good dinner, and left for bed early as it was up early the next morning to find more animals.


The next morning, we left camp the same time and made our way down the "Voortrekker road", getting good sightings of buffalo, rhino and hyena. After turning onto the H3, we came across a cheetah crossing the road. We made our way northwards in the direction of Quagga Pan coming across some more rhino and buffalo. It was not long before we got a message about some lions that were lying around "Rhino Koppies Dam", so we made our way in that direction. The sighting turned out to be very distant with lions lying under a tree. We made our way to breakfast, and then it was back to camp for a rest, before going out in the afternoon again. The afternoon was also quite with rhino and elephant being seen.


The next morning brought another day for some great game viewing, with good sightings of rhino, buffalo, hyena and elephant. The afternoon game drive brought a great sighting of lion close to the camp of Pretoriuskop as well as rhino, buffalo and a possible leopard sighting that got out the tree before we got there. Guests left on a night drive, and returned at 20h00 to enjoy dinner in the restaurant.


We left camp early the next morning getting good sightings of rhino, buffalo, hyena and elephant. We made our way to breakfast and as it was the guests last drive, before returning to Jphannesburg, we decided to take another route back to the camp of Pretoriuskop. We made our way down the Doispane road, before turning onto the "Albasini Road" in the direction of the camp. We came across a good sighting of a leopard in the tree. After spending some time on the sighting, we made our way back to the camp in order for the guests to be transferred back to Johannesburg.


Guests said they had a good time, and would like to return on another safari to the Kruger National Park.
