The festive
season is nearly upon us and brings new guests for a 3 day safari.
Arriving to a
very hot Kruger my 4 guests got straight onto a sunset drive far in the
distance the storm clouds are brewing.. an hour into their drive the most
amazing storms claps above us bringing torrential rain..I needed not worry as
my guests although when they returned were soaked to the bone enjoyed every
single minute of a true African storm!

Today the storm
had cleared the air and the temperature was lovely and cool. We headed out
after a quick breakfast and not long after spotted a large herd of buffalo
followed by a lovely breeding herd of elephants.
Zebras galore
enjoying the new grass as well as impalas and their babies eating as much as
they could.
Lots of general
game and some nice woodlands kingfishers, black shouldered kite and a tawny
eagle.
We were lucky
to see a baby hyena suckling it's mother totally relaxed around us!
After lunch we
did a nice short drive along the albesini road and after about 10 kms we
spotted about 5 wild dogs relaxing under a tree, occasionally getting up and
then just flopping down again.
Our highlight
of the day came as we watched the impalas out of nowhere came the cutest baby
vervet monkeys and they proceeded to play with the impala, chasing one female
and actually jumping up at her as she bowed her head to them! Was incredible to
watch the interaction between them.
An eventful
couple of days in the African bush!
