On Safari With Curtis From 24 January 2014

24 January 2014

Today was the worst part of a safari for most people - as six guests would be leaving us today. Luckily their transfer to Johannesburg was not happening until 10:00 hours so we went on a final safari to try and get some more great sightings.

We went out with the aim of finding Zebras, something which had eluded us for the last three days, but not today as we came across a family herd on the road. We also got Impala, Kudu, Giraffe and Baboon before coming across a female Rhino with her young calf. Lots of Elephants were seen including big Bulls, females and young calf’s.

We then carried on to the gate as it was time for a fond farewell to some of my guests as they continued their travels.

Left with two guests we made our way on the afternoon safari.

The heat of the day made it a very quiet drive although we did spot more Impala, Zebra, Warthog, Kudu and Waterbuck. As well as lots of Elephants and Rhino. Two Rhino in  particular were lovely as we found them having a mud bath, every now and again sitting and rolling around getting themselves covered in mud before standing up and having a scratch on a nearby tree stump.

Today was the last day of the safari for my final two guests, normally we would take them out for another safari early in the morning before they leave the park. Unfortunately one of my guests did not feel to good during the night so we cancelled the safari and had a relaxing morning in the lodge.

Late this morning I transferred the guests up to Nelspruit to the City bug shuttle where they caught their transfer to Johannesburg to start the next instalment of their South African travels.

Keep watching for more safari updates as more guests enter the park!
