Route: Kruger gate road - Doispan - Watergat - Napi - PK - Napi
- Skukuza
General sightings spotted: giraffe, kudu, impala, waterbuck, warthog, steenbok, vervet monkeys and zebra
The first animal we came across this morning was a male leopard walking down the Kruger gate road heading towards doispan. Brilliant sighting as he walked right next to the open vehicle and slowly moved off the road into the bush. We spent approximately 20min with him and had no other cars around us.
On Napi we also found 3 male cheetahs walking parallel with the road, scent marking their territory. As the first car approached us, so they slowly moved off into the bush.
A great herd (app 300 ) of buffalo between napi boulders entrance and exit.Only a single rhino sighting for the day.
After breakfast and dropping a guest off, we headed back down napi and turned in at shitlhave dam. There we found 5 male lions lying on the dam wall.
Approximately 50m before the flat rocks on napi we found another leopard lying in a Marola tree enjoying the cool weather.
The afternoon drive was brilliant with a short trip up the tahokwane tar. We came across a pride of lions (2 males 2 females and 5 cubs). They got up and came to lay right next to our vehicle.
Further to this we had a hippo walk across the road in front of us. On our return we found a Hyena den with 2 females feeding the young.
Overall a great days game viewing.
