The next morning, after enjoying tea and coffee, it was out of the camp early to find what we could find. and after a short time out, we got more Elephant, Rhino and Buffalo. When turning onto the H3, a short distance down we came across two cheetah that were walking parallel with the road. Michelle was very happy to see them, as it was something she was looking for over the last two safaris. After this sighting, we decided to make our way to breakfast at the Nkulu picnic spot. On route to breakfast, we came across a good lion sighting with all of them on the road in front of our vehicle. This set us back with our breakfast, but the guests were not worried as they enjoyed the sightings. After breakfast our game drive continued finding many other animals and enjoying many good sightings. Late afternoon, we made our way back to camp for a well deserved rest. A good dinner was enjoyed by all.
The following day saw us leave the camp early again after enjoying tea and coffee. Good sightings were experienced throughout the day. We came back to camp early in order to have some well deserved rest before guests went out on their first of two night drives. Sightings experienced on the night drive was good with lots of owls being seen as well as a good leopard sighting.
The next day, it was pack up time as we were moving on to the camp of Skukuza were we would spend the next two nights. After enjoying tea and coffee, it was off and just down the Napi Road, we came across a pack of wild dogs in the road, guests were very happy to see this, as this was one of the species we did not get to see on both there last safaris. After enjoying this sighting, we continued on seen large numbers of elephant, rhinos and buffalo throughout the day. A good meal in the restaurant was enjoyed by all in the evening.
The next day, we decided to take a northerly route stopping off at the tshokwane picnic spot for breakfast, before continuing on the H10 to the camp of Lower Sabie. Good sightings were experienced on this route with large herds of Zebra ans Wildebeest being found, also some good sightings of very large elephants were found on this road. We stopped off at Lower Sabie so guests could take in the goosd sights of the Sabie River and also get to see some large pods of hippos that are found there. After the break we made our way onto Sunset dam, were there was chance to see more hippos, closer this time as well take in some of the different bird species found in this area. We continued our journey back in the direction of Skukuza, arriving late afternoon in time for a rest for the guests prior to going out on their next game drive that left at 17h00. Good sightings of lion, leopard, hippo, elephant, buffalo and numerous bird species was enjoyed by all.
The next morning it was up early, we packed up the open safari vehicle had some tea and coffee and then it was off in the direction of the Olifants camp. This would be a long day as it was quite a distance from the camp of Skukuza. we enjoyed many great sightings along the way and after a good breakfast at the Tshokwane picnic spot, we drove on in the direction of the camp Satara. we arrived at Satara in time for lunch, and after a well deserved break we made our way further north coming across good sightings of lion, rhino, wildebeest, zebra, impala, waterbuck and hippo. We arrived at the Olifants camp late afternoon and in enough time for the guests to enjoy the sunset from the viewing deck overlooking the Olifants river.
Guests enjoyed a good dinner in the camp restaurant and then it was off to bed after a long and eventful day.
The following morning it was again pack up time as this was the day guests were leaving the park on route for Johannesburg. After tea and coffee, it was out of the camp and back onto the road for there last game drive that would take them from the Olifants camp to the camp of Satars and then down to the camp of Skukuza. After a good morning of game viewing and having a good breakfast we made our way to the Numbi Gate and then on to Nelspruit. We changed over from our open safari vehicle back into the Microbus and then started our journey back to Johannesburg, arriving late afternoon at there hotel.
The feedback from the guests was that they had a wonderful time just like the previous two safaris, and that they plan to return back again in the next year or two for another visit to the Kruger National Park.
