Route: Nkambeni tented camp - Napi road - Skukuza for a break.
Animals seen were elephant, buffalo, rhino, kudu, impala and stenbuck.
After our break we took a drive down the H3 as there had been lions seen close to Quagga pan, but none were found by us. We then made our way to Doispane as there had been a leopard spotted about a kilometer from Watergat, but he also made a getaway before we got there. After this, we made our way to camp for lunch and the guests went out on their night safari.

Route: Nkambeni tented safari camp - Numbi gate tar - Napi road - H3 - Napi road - Skukuza for a drink and toilet stop.
Animals seen were rhino, elephant, buffalo, impala, kudu, warthog, two males and two female lions walking with full stomachs down the H3. We managed to follow them for about two kilometers, before they went off the road and into a culvert to sleep. About 5.2 kilometers on the Napi road we came across three hyena trying to catch a warthog who also managed to get into a culvert were the hyena's could not get into.
After our stop at Skukuza we went up Tshokwane tar and across the high water bridge and then back on Elloff street.
Animals seen were elephant, buffalo, crocodile and rhino.
We decided to go down Doispane before going in for lunch as we were looking for a leopard. We drove down Doispane about 2.8 km's past Watergat and came on two leopard cubs playing on the rock. Mommy was not there, but after a hour of watching these little guy's it was considered a good leopard sighting.
We went to Skukuza for lunch and then made our way back to camp on Napi road, getting more elephant and buffalo.

Route: Nkambeni tented camp - Numbi gate tar - Napi road - H3 - Quagga pan - Napi road - Skukuza for a break.
Animals seen were elephant, rhino, impala, kudu, stenbuck, Klipspringer and Grey Duiker.
After our break at Skukuza, we made our way down the S114 getting a sighting of a leopard about 1.5 km's in a Marula tree. Guests battled to see him due to large amount of foliage. We carried on and turned onto the Ngwatemiri road and got four lionesses lying about thirty meters from the road. We made our way on and came across another five male lions about 2.3 km's further on. After having great sightings we made our way back to the s114 and then down the s112 and up the H3 and onto Napi road back to camp.
Animals seen were giraffe, impala, buffalo, elephant, warthog, Klipspringer and kudu.
