Route: Nkambeni - Numbi gate tar - Napi road - skukuza for a break.

Animals seen was elephant, buffalo, rhino, impala, kudu and a leopard, 100 meters down watergate.
After our break it was down to the low water bridge for crocodile and then down Elloff street for hippo. It was then back onto the Napi road to Numbi gate getting more buffalo and elephant and giraffe.

After dropping off Dianne we made our way to the camp of Pretoriuskop for lunch after which we drove down to Shithave dam getting waterbuck. We then made our way to Nkambeni tented camp as guests were going on afternoon / evening game drive.

After our break at skukuza we got a call of lions walking on the S114, we drove down there and found them 3.9 km's from the Napi road junction. While on the sighting, another call came through about a leopard also on the S114, after finishing at the lion sighting, we made our way to the leopard sighting and found him lying on the rock under a African broad bean tree. After enjoying the sighting, we went back up the S114 and made our way down Elloff street over the high water bridge and down Tshokwane tar.

With Mark

Route: Napi - H3 - S112 - S114 - napi - nkambeni

Animals seen were a herd of buffalo (50) just before Napi boulders exit. 1 spotted hyena at the den on transport dam access road, lying very relaxed next to the road. Got to hear about a leopard on Napi at the junction of transport dam access road. We drove up there, but found nothing. 1.3kms from transport dam entrance, we found a female cheetah. Distant sighting though. General game on S112 and S114. Giraffe, waterbuck, kudu, warthog, steenbok, klipspringer and impala. Interesting to see the male impala's actions with the female's as we approach RUT.

In the afternoon we went looking for the lions said to be on S114 but no luck.Fantastic elephant bull eating right next to the road on S112. We stopped and allowed him to walk straight past the vehicle. Very relaxed and guests loved it. Distant rhino sighting throughout the day.
