On Safari With Dean From 6 October 2013

6 October 2013

We left Johannesburg after picking up guests at the Sandton Garden Court, Sandton Southern Sun and African Moon. We travelled through to the Kruger National Park and onto Nkambeni Safari Camp, where guests could have a rest and some lunch before leaving on their game drive.

We left camp at 15h00 and made our way down the Numbi gate tar, getting three sightings of buffalo herds as well as zebra, wildebeest and impala. We drove onto Napi Road and got great sightings of sable, buffalo, elephant, waterbuck and kudu. We then back tracked to Shabeni Koppies as a leopard had been spotted there the day before, but all we found was kudu, impala, baboon and buffalo there.

Rhino sightings were also experienced thought the afternoon.

We made our way back to camp arriving with only five minutes to spare.

7 October 2013

Today it was out early making our way down the Numbi gate tar getting more good sightings of buffalo, elephant, kudu and hyena. We turned onto the Napi road and made our way down to skukuza for a break.

Animals encountered on the route was another good sighting of sable antelope, rhino, elephant, buffalo, kudu, impala, giraffe and wildebeest.

After a tea break, we made our way onto Elloff street and took a drive along the river getting impala, kudu, buffalo and impala, before getting a call of a lion sighting on the Tshokwane tar.. We made our way in that direction. We turned onto the Tshokwane tar going down to the lion sighting and came across a leopard kill hanging in the tree. The impala had been killed that morning, but no leopard was found.

We made our way on getting to the lion sighting which had somewhat deteriorated to a point that the lions were hard to see lying on the opposite side of the sand river. After a while and after everybody had had a glimpse of the lions, we made our way back to Nkambeni Tented Camp for a lunch break and rest before going out again in the afternoon.

Keep watching For more!!
