On Safari With Mark From 5 April 2014


5 April 2014

Route: Napi - Doispan - Albaseni - Shabeni loop - Nkambeni

General animals seen: kudu, impala, warthog, zebra, blue wildebeest, waterbuck, giraffe, rhino and elephant

Highlights:


A large herd of buffalo (200) still lying sleeping just before Napi boulders entrance. Guests got excellent photos of the bulls as they got up and started to move around in between the herd.

On our return to camp for lunch we drove along Doispan and just past Neyamundwa dam we found 2 lioness walking in the road towards us.   They moved off the road and disappeared into the long yellow thatch grass. Although the sighting was short lived, guests were able to get some shots of these as well.

Afternoon drive produced buffalo approximately 3m from our vehicle. Brilliant sighting to have a old dugga boy right next to us.


On shabeni koppies we found a female leopard lying on the rocks enjoying the view. We spent approximately 30min with her and watched as she stalked a common ground squirrel.


On our return to camp we found a young male leopard walking in the middle of the road very close to mestel dam. We followed him as he scent marked his territory along the side of the road. Awesome sighting and guests could get great photos.

 

6 April 2014

Route: Napi - Doispan - Albaseni - Nkambeni

General animals seen: kudu, impala, waterbuck, zebra, giraffe, hippos, crocodile, elephant, buffalo and rhino

Highlights:


We started our safari with Napi been very quiet due to all the holiday traffic, which comes to an end today (heha). On Napi boulders we found 2 lioness lying on the rocks enjoy the fresh morning sun, with no care in the world.

Further to this we eventually found fabulous herds of elephant crossing over Doispan enjoying a lazy Sunday afternoon.

We spend the first part of the morning tomorrow, looking for the male lion as some of my guests are departing for the next part of their trip to Swaziland.

 

More coming soon!
