Highlights:
Today was rather quiet, with only general animals seen. We
did get to see 2 spotted Hyena's on the road just past ship mountains.
Great photo opportunity for the guests as it was the first
time we spotted them in the 4 days we've been going.
We see what tomorrow has in store for us. Hope we can get a male lion before some of my guests depart.

Route: Napi - Doispan - Albaseni - Nkambeni
General animals seen: kudu, zebra, impala, common duiker, warthog, giraffe, blue wildebeest, waterbuck, rhino, elephant, buffalo and hippos
Highlight: on our way down napi we decided to stop off at transport dam and on the access rd we found a large male leopard lying snoozing, belly full from an impala he must of caught earlier. After spending time with him, he got up and casually walked away from us. Guests got great photos as he was approximately 3m away from the vehicle.

9 April 2014
Route: Napi - H3 - Doispan - Albaseni - Shabeni koppies -
Numbi tar - Nkambeni
General animals seen: same as day before with the exception of steenbok as well.
Highlights: we were informed about 3 cheetahs on S65 approximately 1.2km from napi and responded as guests had not seen cheetah before. We found them in an open clearing enjoying the first bit of sun for the past two days. All 3 relaxed and guests could get photos although these cats lay approximately 30m from our vehicle.
While at the cheetah sighting, a college informed me of another leopard sighting and so we decided to respond as this one was lying in the tree. No sooner had we arrived and got visual of this majestic male, he dropped his kill out of the tree, right into the hungry mouths of spotted Hyena's. They ripped the leftovers up and off they went. As the coast was clear the leopard jumped out of the tree, and moved away. Guests enjoyed the interaction between leopard and Hyena's and could get good photos of this.
Still no lions for the last guests on this safari, so just before we exit the park we going on a last drive to see if we can locate them.
