So after
collecting my 2 new visitors, we set off for our camp Pretoriuskop. As it was
the heat of the day not much was around and we decided to check in early and go
out once it started cooling off.
On our
afternoon drive we spotted a lovely herd of elephant playing around in the
natural mud pan. Funny to watch as they lay down and rolled around, coating
their bodies with mud. While we watch this so out popped a buffalo bull and
also lay down in the muddy water to cool off. This just goes to show that very
little water is left in the area and that animals are now having to search for
wet areas or man made water holes to fulfill their needs. I suspect that this
is going to be a long and hard winter for the animals.
Further to this
we spotted general game throughout our drive and ending it off with a lovely
Journey of giraffe around one acacia tree, enjoying all the sweet leaves.

Early morning
drive was initially a lot of fog restricting our vision however this seemed to
lift just at the right time as we spotted 2 male lions in the distance just
lying looking out over the plains. After a while one got up and moved out of
sight towards taller trees where I presume they will spend the day. Will go
back to have a look later and see if we find them. Maybe they come out into the
open.
Great to have
found 4 rhino on our return to camp and guests happy that we could get out of
the real heat of the day. Before we could do that we, stopped off at the gate
to collect 2 new comers on our safari. We will see what we spot this afternoon
as we set out at 15:30.
