A New Year A New Safari With Mark

14 January 2014

Dean picks up guests at OR Tambo International Airport and transfers them to Mark ho was waiting for them. After loading onto the open safari vehicles it was out to see what we could find.

Route: Numbi tar – Pretoriuskop - Napi - Napi boulders exit - Napi - Nkambeni

General animals seen were Kudu, zebra, impala, vervet monkeys, warthog, waterbuck and giraffe

On the afternoon drive we had great  rhino sighting with them grazing quiet close to the road. 2 elephant bulls on the road as we entered the Kruger park, approx 50m from Numbi gate. A herd of buffalo crossed over the road just before shithave dam entrance. Great photos could be taken by the guests.

On our way back to camp we saw a male leopard walking on the road. As we approached, it crossed over and walked into the bushes.

Guests are happy and now they would love to see some lions. Let's see what tomorrow holds.

Route: Numbi tar - Napi - skukuza - doispan - albaseni - Nkambeni

General animals seen: giraffe, kudu, warthog, blue wildebeest, impala and rhino

Great elephant sightings throughout the day. With herds crossing the road on doispan just past riverlink

2 lioness's lying on klipspringer koppies

In the late afternoon, we found a male leopard lying on the rocks opposite shebeni koppies and stayed with it for approximately 30min. As we were about to leave, it got down from the rocks and walked in front of our open vehicle heading towards the shebeni link road. At the junction it then moved off into tall grass. As we lost sight of him, a female leopard walked out onto the road approximately 300m from our last sighting of the male. She walked towards the Numbi tar and disappeared into the tall grass. All the guests got great photos and videos.

That's all for the day, hopefully we can find great buffalo and lions tomorrow.

Route: Numbi tar - Napi - H3 - Napi - Albaseni - Doispan - Albaseni
 
General game spotted: kudu, giraffe, impala, waterbuck, rhino, warthog and blue wildebeest

We got a call on the radio regarding lions on Doispan lying sleeping 20m from the tar. We decided to go have a look, as all the other sightings of lions so far have been distant sightings. Found them and while sitting watching them a male and female got up walked closer to us and lay back down. This allowed the guests to get great photos before our return to camp.

Keep watching for more!!
