16th
December – Dean collected guests from the Balaika Hotel in Sandton and
continued onto Nelspruit going through Numbi Gate. We stopped off at Pretoriuskop Camp for lunch
before starting our first game drive for the day. After lunch we left Pretoriuskop
and drove down Napi where we got good sightings of Elephant, Rhino and Buffalo.
700m past Transport Dam Junction we got a large male Leopard lying on a Termite
mound this made for a great afternoons game viewing. We then continued on to
Klipspringer Koppies and 400m past the H3 Junction we came across a male and
female Lion with 3 cubs lying in the drainage line. We then got a call on the
radio telling us about another female Lion on the H3 1.9km down from the Napi
road. After that sighting we turned around and headed for camp due to heavy
rain. On the Nkambeni entry road we got Buffalo walking in the road in front of
us. Clients got to camp enjoying the first days sightings.
17th
December – After breakfast we left Nkambeni and got to see good sightings
of Waterbuck, Impala, Kudu, Giraffe, Elephant as well as a male Lion 700m from
the Watergat Junction. We also got a pair of mating Lions 1km down the H3,
after this we made our way to Skukuza Camp for a break. After a bit of a break
we made our way down the Marula Loop were we got another two male Lions lying
next to the road, after spending some time with them we made our way down to
Jones Dam were we got good sightings again of Elephant, Buffalo, Hippos and Waterbuck.
We then made our way back crossing Low Water Bridge getting good sightings of
Crocodile, Elephants and Hippos. Due to it being still to early for lunch we
decided to make our way down River road to see if there was any action going
on. We Managed to find 17 Wild Dogs 1.5km before Doispane which was awesome to
see. We Returned to the camp of Skukuza for lunch after which we made our way
back to Nkambeni with general sightings along the way. All in all a good days
game viewing.
