Route: Napi - H3 - S112 - Gwatamiri - S112 - H3 - Napi
General game viewing was quiet this morning, due to a drastic drop in temperature, however after lunch things picked up and general game was on the move again.
Animals seen:
Rhino, Kudu, zebra, giraffe, impala, bushbuck, common diukers, baboons and monkeys. 2 elephant bulls next to the road at the flat rocks.A herd of 20 elephants at the natural water pan just past S65 on napi. We got a pair of mating lions 6km down gwatamiri. Brilliant photos taken by the guests as these lions were literally on the edge of the road.
No buffalo or leopard, but will try to get them tomorrow.

Route: Napi - Doispan - Albaseni - Napi - Nkambeni tented camp
Animal sightings:
Although most of the day was rather quiet with general game viewing, we managed to see: Giraffe, zebra, kudu, impala, warthog, common diukers and rhino. Just at shitlhave entrance on the napi, we got visuals of a herd (8)of Sable. Fantastic to see.
Throughout the day we either saw herds of elephant or bulls on their own.
Afternoon drive we went down to shitlhave dam and on the access road found a female cheetah that had caught a young kudu. While watching her out popped a female leopard and chased her (cheetah)off her prey. The leopard then continued with the carcass and dragged it approx 100m up the access road and hid it under thicket, as the antelope was to big to carry up a tree. At this stage we lost visual of her but will return in the morning to see if a she has eaten on her own or will she go and fetch her two cubs.
Will see what tomorrow brings us, just looking for wild dog now.

Animals seen
General game viewing was great with many different sightings of Zebra, kudu, impala, steenbok, rheedbok, diukers, warthog, rhino and giraffe. Napi boulders exit we got a male leopard walking in the road sent marking. Very relaxed. Then out popped a honey badger in the middle of the road. Leopard moved off into the thicket and so did the honey badger. Guests got good photos. Large herd (200) of buffalo on the afternoon drive at the flat rocks on napi. Great herd of elephant just before shitlhave.
Need to get a lion for the new guests that arrived today.
