On Safari With Dean From 19 November 2013

19 November 2013

Today would be one of those days best forgotten, as we left camp at 06h00 and went up the Numbi Gate Tar and on to Napi Road making our way down to Skukuza for a break.

Animals seen were a bit on the quite side with sightings of impala, kudu, buffalo, rhino and elephant seen.

Two sightings of leopard were missed due to guide and public disorder and also a lion sighting was messed up by guide and public disorder which has become a huge problem for us professional guides.

We returned to camp to pickup other clients who had enjoyed a bush walk, we also picked up other guests who had come up from Johannesburg.

We took a drive down the Albasini road and up the Shabeni link to Pretoriuskop Camp for lunch.

Animals seen were hippo, impala, warthog and buffalo.

After lunch, we made our way down the Albasini road to Doispane where we turned towards Watergat.

Animals seen were wildebeest, impala, kudu, rhino and nine lions close to the Watergat junction.

We drove up Watergat and turned onto Napi Road, getting sightings of kudu, impala and warthog before returning to camp for the evening.

Today we left camp at 06h00 and made our way up the Numbi gate tar, a message came in of a zebra kill on the Albasini road just 2km's from the Doispane road, we travelled up the Numbi Gate tar getting two hyena females together with their pups before turning onto the Shabeni link road and then onto the Albasini road on route to the kill.

We got into the sighting and managed to get some good visuals of the lions with the kill on the left hand side.

After finishing at the kill we drove down the Albasini onto Doispane getting good sightings buffalo, elephant, impala, warthog and kudu before stopping off at Slukuza for a break.

After everybody had enjoyed their break, it was back to Numbi Gate on the Napi Road in order for the guests to get their transfer back to Johannesburg.

Guests had a good time, wanting to return for another safari.

Today we left camp at 06h00 with a lot of rain, drove up the Numbi Gate tar to Napi Road, stopped off at Skukuza for a tea and coffee break, and then proceeded to drive still in the rain back to the Numbi Gate.

Animals seen were rhino, buffalo, elephant, impala, kudu and wildebeest.

Left Numbi Gate and took clients to the Mpumalanga Airport for their flight to Durban.

We picked up new clients in Nelspruit, and drove through to Numbi Gate, after check in procedures, we made our way up the Numbi Gate tar and onto Napi Road.

We drove down Napi Road to the Napi Boulders entrance and then turned back, as there was some heavy rain coming, and guests did not want to get stuck in it.

Animals seen on the afternoon drive was impala, buffalo, rhino, elephant, tsessebe, warthog and waterbuck.
