On Safari Starting 7 June 2013

With Mark

Route: Over the past few days we have focused our drives around Pretoriuskop, Skakuza and Lower sabi.

Animals seen:

Despite the constant change in weather, either been cold or hot we have managed to find the animals and most of the sightings have been quality sightings.

Numerous Rhino, giraffe, kudu, waterbuck, impala, diuker, steenbok and warthog has been sighted.
A general decrees in zebra and large herds of buffalo have been experienced.

Today we had 5 lions hunt and kill an impala 1.2km before the S113 on the H3. Approximately 1km south of Qwagga pan we had two females walking with us in the road, a leopard and its kill in a tree opposite side of the dam at transport dam.

Dean called us to 2 male lions just past marolla entrance on the tsokwane tar, At 1.3kms from napi on watergat, we had a female leopard in a marola tree, Just enjoying the morning sun.

9 June 2013

A rather quiet day experienced as we had a change over of guests in Nelspriut. In the afternoon we found a healthy herd of (12) Sable antelope 50m of the napi and approximately 200m from the entrance of boulders.

Route: Albaseni - Doispan - S114 - Gwatamiri - Ellof - Napi - Nkambeni camp

General animal sightings of giraffe, Kudu, waterbuck, zebra, impala, common diuker and warthog, was seen throughout the day. 5 male lions lying sleeping with stomachs full approx 4.6km from S114 on the gwatamiri road. 2 elephant bulls digging waterholes in the river bed 7.8km down gwatamiri.
Fantastic to see these animals retrieve water below the surface of a dry river bed. Many herds of elephant and buffalo along the sabi river. Approx 30 hippo's and 15 nile croc's lying out of the water all enjoying the sun at sunset dam.

Only thing to report on our drive back along napi was 6 southern ground hornbills alongside the road app 100m past transport dam junction.

Still no leopard for the new group, so hopefully we pull one out of the bag tomorrow.
