With Mark

Route: Napi - H3 - S112 - S114 - napi - nkambeni

Animals seen were a herd of buffalo (50) just before Napi boulders exit. 1 spotted hyena at the den on transport dam access road, lying very relaxed next to the road. Got to hear about a leopard on Napi at the junction of transport dam access road. We drove up there, but found nothing. 1.3kms from transport dam entrance, we found a female cheetah. Distant sighting though. General game on S112 and S114. Giraffe, waterbuck, kudu, warthog, steenbok, klipspringer and impala. Interesting to see the male impala's actions with the female's as we approach RUT.

In the afternoon we went looking for the lions said to be on S114 but no luck.Fantastic elephant bull eating right next to the road on S112. We stopped and allowed him to walk straight past the vehicle. Very relaxed and guests loved it. Distant rhino sighting throughout the day.
