Highlights:
A large herd of buffalo (200) still lying sleeping just
before Napi boulders entrance. Guests got excellent photos of the bulls as they
got up and started to move around in between the herd.
On our return to camp for lunch we drove along Doispan and just past Neyamundwa dam we found 2 lioness walking in the road towards us. They moved off the road and disappeared into the long yellow thatch grass. Although the sighting was short lived, guests were able to get some shots of these as well.
Afternoon drive produced buffalo approximately 3m from our vehicle. Brilliant sighting to have a old dugga boy right next to us.

On shabeni koppies we found a female leopard lying on the
rocks enjoying the view. We spent approximately 30min with her and watched as
she stalked a common ground squirrel.
On our return to camp we found a young male leopard walking
in the middle of the road very close to mestel dam. We followed him as he scent
marked his territory along the side of the road. Awesome sighting and guests
could get great photos.

We started our safari with Napi been very quiet due to all
the holiday traffic, which comes to an end today (heha). On Napi boulders we
found 2 lioness lying on the rocks enjoy the fresh morning sun, with no care in
the world.
Further to this we eventually found fabulous herds of elephant crossing over Doispan enjoying a lazy Sunday afternoon.
We spend the first part of the morning tomorrow, looking for the male lion as some of my guests are departing for the next part of their trip to Swaziland.
