Safari Starting 29th January Ending 31st January


29th January

Dean collected guests from their hotel at 07h00am in Johannesburg and then started off for Nelspruit.  After changing over vehicles, it was on to the Numbi Gate of the Kruger National Park and then to Pretoriuskop for lunch.  After lunch they travelled down Napi which is now re-opened and to the H3 where there were a pride of lions eating on two Buffalo that had been killed.  On the way to the H3 sightings of Elephant, Rhino and Buffalo as well as general game sightings were good.  We then made our way to Nkambeni  which was our camp for the next two nights.

30th January

The following morning after a hearty breakfast we set off from camp once again down Napi getting a great sighting of 25 Wild Dogs and more sightings of Rhino and Elephant and a good sighting of Lions at Klipspringer Kopjies.  We went back down the H3 to see what was left of the Buffalo carcasses and found the lions walking away from the remnants of their meal.  Dean then turned around and went back towards Napi, getting a troop of Baboons, Impala and Kudu.  After a break at Skukuza, it was off to Eloff along the Sabi River to the High water bridge, and then down the Tshokwane tar where there was not much to be seen.  We then returned down Napi towards Pretoriuskop as guests were going on a night safari and we were heading there for lunch before continuing on to camp for a rest before the night drive.  On the way back we were fortunate enough to have more sightings of Lion, Wild Dogs, Elephant, and Rhino.  Guests then left on their night safari at 17h00pm.

31st January

The next morning we left Nkambeni after breakfast and loading luggage and then proceeded down Napi getting sightings of Giraffe, Elephant , Rhino , Hyena, Impala and Kudu.  We stopped off mid-morning at Pretoriuskop , before departing from the Kruger and making our way out of the park and back to Johannesburg.

Our next safari will depart tomorrow the 2nd of February with Mark entering with his guests.  We will update you as the week goes by as we have more than 20 guests going in and out of the park for the next week.  Until then ..................
