Animals seen were elephants on Napi road as well as impala and zebra, nothing much was seen on watergat. Lions were found on Doispane 2.5km's from river road link. We also came across more elephant and rhino. Verity found buffalo for the guests between tourism control and the gate when she left the park.

Guests were picked up after their walk and we took the same route down Albasini and onto Doispane to skukuza getting rhino, zebra, impala, elephant and buffalo. After a lunch break we got a call from Mark about a leopard on Doispane, and as guests had not seen one, we decided to go and have a look. We found him at 7.5km's from river road link on Doispane. After enjoying the sighting, we made our way onto the Albasini and then down to Shithave dam before going into camp. All that was seen was baboon, hippo, impala and waterbuck.
