28 September 2015 – 30 September 2015
Been North in
the Park is fantastic as very little traffic on the roads keeps the sightings
extra special.
Highlights for
these past 3 days has to be the following:
In our drive
north towards shingwetzi we came out of mopani and slap bang into the 2 Roan
antelope Bulls walking down the road. Absolutely fantastic to see them up close
and personal. These animals were 5m away from us and so so relaxed.
After spending
approximately 30min with them we turned the car around and continued with our
drive and once again had a fantastic Honey Badger walk out in front of us. He
stood in the middle of the road and watched us roll up to him. This was great,
as he then turned and headed off into the bush with a mission. My guests loved
the way he moved as he scouted around looking for something to eat.
Our next
highlight was our first morning drive out of shingwetzi as we turned north and
drove approximately 5km up the road we spotted a pride of 8 lions, enjoying the
morning sun.
On our second
morning we decided to head up to Punda Maria for Breakfast and on our way we
had two very special moments with the first male Nyala antelope been spotted
for the trip and further down the road we found a female Sharps Greysbok.
Great to be
able to spend quality time with such fantastic animals.
Massive herds
of Buffalo (700) and Large amounts of elephant (100) on one drive back to camp.
Every couple
of kilometers there is bound to be a dazzle of zebra crossing the road or blue
wildest and Kudu.
Further to
this we've spotted: giraffe, Impala, warthog, dwarf,banded,slender mongoose
ostrich tsessebe, hippo and crocodile.
Looking forward
to the next drive, day or week as the list grows of all the animals spotted.
