Kruger Park Safari with Catrien and Cor Van Der Bliek 29 December - 1 January 2012 Day 4

We left camp at 04h30 and made our way down the "Napi Road", getting good sightings of wildebeest, impala, kudu and elephant. We turned onto the H3 and then onto the S112 with the knoledge that there are normally lions on this road. It was not long before e came across three rhinos in the middle of the road, and after about ten minutes on the sighting, they decided to move to the side of the road and let us pass. we carried on passing the " James Stevenson Hamilton" road, and it as not long before we heard the roaring of a male and female lion in the area. We came around the corner and got them standing in the middle of the road. They soon moved to the side of the road and lay down in full view of the vehicle. We sayed on the sighting for about twenty five minutes as when e saw the traffic building, we decided to make our move away from the sighting.

As we were driving away, we got a radio message of a leopard with its kill in a tree on the Dospane Road, e decided to make our way in that ddirection as it was close to were we were going to have breakfast. we drove down to the Doispane road and after finding the impala lamb hanging in the tree, but alas no leopard as she had already climbed down the tree. as we were looking at the kill, we received another message of another leopard on the River Road Link in a Marula Tree. e drove down, and were soon rewarded with a great leopard sighting. We watched the leopard for about twenty minutes, before she decided to climb out the tree and walk away. This is now the second time that Catrien and Cor have seen the "big five" in about four hours while on safari with Nhongo Safaris.

We made our way to breakfast in high spirits, and after enjoying a good breakfast at the Skukuza Golf Club, it was back on the road in the direction of Pretoriuskop Camp in order to get the guests transfered back to Johannesburg in order to catch there flight back to Holland.

Feedback from the guests was that they had a wonderful time, saw loads of great sightings and will be returning in the near future to enjoy another safari in the Kruger National Park.
