On Safari With Mark From 10 March 2014


10 March 2014

Route: Doispan - Napi - Shabeni link - Albaseni - Nkambeni

General animals seen: kudu, giraffe, zebra, warthog, elephant, rhino, klipspringer, impala and waterbuck

On the way to camp Curtis called me and told me of a leopard sighting on shabeni which we responded to. Brilliant sighting of 2 leopards approximately 50m from each other with 1 having just caught a male impala and moving it towards a tree.

The other just climbed up onto the rock and lay down and watched us until it was time for us to leave due to gate closing times.

On our way back to camp we saw 2 male lions lying in the middle of the road just relaxing. Great photos taken by the guests.

At mestal dam we came across a large herd of buffalo crossing the albaseni after drinking water.

Guests are happy to have seen so much in the short time in Kruger. We wait to see what is on offer tomorrow.

 

11 March 2014

Route: Napi - Skukuza - Doispan - Albaseni - Nkambeni

General animals seen: kudu, impala, warthog, zebra, giraffe, common duiker, klipspringer, hippos, buffalo and elephant

Highlights:
We got word of 8 wild dogs lying on napi enjoying the fresh morning breeze. We responded and found them all playing on the road and guest could get fantastic photos.

Further to this we got another call informing us of 4 lioness walking towards us approximately 2kms from our location. We responded and as we came around a corner, there they were just as reported. All 4 walked past our car and all in very good condition. They had just caught a kudu bull and eaten till their bellies were full.

On our return to camp we found 4 male lions walking towards the kill and followed them down the road. We watched as they started to eat on the leftovers from the females.

Picked up new guests and immediately we drove to shabeni koppies were the leopard were spotted yesterday. We found them still lying on the same rocks as yesterday. Amazing to see a female with her 2 cubs out and about.

Keep watching for more!
