Today it was out at 06h00, we took a drive down the Albasini road onto Doispane and up watergat getting good sightings of giraffe, impala, kudu and a distant sighting of a male lion.
We turned onto the Napi Road and then down the H3 onto the S112 as we had heard of lions in the area. We managed to find four male lions lying on the top of the rock when a call came through that the rat of the pride was on the road around the corner. We got there and got two females lying next to the road and all eight cubs coming out of the bush to cross the road. A great sighting was enjoyed.

We made our way up Stevenson Hamilton road getting a good sighting of elephant.

We made our way to Skukuza for a break.

After the break, we went down the S114 and onto the S21 to get more lions, upon returning to the S114, we came across another sighting of cubs lying on the rock. After this we made our way down to Elloff street to the low water bridge in order to see some crocodile and then it was back to Skukuza lunch.

Great rhino sightings were also experienced.

After lunch it was back to camp for a forty minute rest before guests left on the afternoon / evening safari.

After delivering guests who finishing their safari to Nelspruit so they could return to Johannesburg, we proceeded to Numbi Gate with the new guests to start their safari.
We took a drive down the Numbi gate tar getting great sightings of impala, waterbuck and buffalo, before turning onto the Napi Road in the direction of Skukuza.

Great sightings of impala, kudu, waterbuck, buffalo, rhino and lion were experienced today before we reached the H3 junction.

We made our way down the H3 to Quagga pan getting more good sightings of buffalo.
As it was a colder afternoon on the open safari vehicle, we made our way to the camp of Skukuza for an early afternoon, before setting out early tomorrow morning to see what we can find.

Keep watching for more!!
