Dean picked up four guests Ellen Li and company as well as Irvin Choo and company from the Splice Rivera Hotel in Johannesburg. They then made their way to Nelspruit where Mark was waiting. Two guests then got on to Marks open vehicle as they were on a private safari. The remaining two guests got on Deans open vehicle.
After the necessary check in at Numbi Gate it as out to see what the afternoon would bring.
Route: Napi – Nkambeni Tented camp
We had a rather quiet afternoon drive with just some general game spotted:
Warthog, impala, kudu, steenbok, common duiker and distant visuals of a giraffe.
As we got onto camp road we spotted 3 buffalo bulls near a waterhole.
We then made our way onto camp for the evening.

We then came across a male leopard 500m before transport dam access road. After a while he returned to the road and crossed over between our open vehicles.
Dean heard about lions near klipspringer koppies after proceeding in that direction we found 2 lioness with 2 cubs, quiet far off the road.
Crossing over the sabi low level bridge another leopard was spotted lying on a flat rock under a Marola tree enjoying the shade the tree provided.
Great sightings of elephant during the day with a herd of 40 drinking water at delaport waterhole.
Dean spotted a Mozambique spitting cobra, but once we arrived it had moved off into the thicket (they don’t stick around for very long).
We then returned to camp as all guests were going on a sundown drive.
