On the morning drive we came across a serval cub 100m from
napi on the Voortrekker link road. Sad to say, but it seemed it wasn't doing
well and rejected by mom as it was all alone. We spent some time with it and
although it was alone, it seemed it had sufficient energy to come strolling
next to the car and investigate what we were all about. Guests got good photos
of this small and amazing cat and once everyone was happy to see it we moved on
with the game drive towards skukuza for a coffee break.
Further to this, the day’s game viewing was rather quiet and nothing else spectacular happened to report on.
We hope for a much better day tomorrow

Route: Napi - Watergat - River road - Albaseni - Nkambeni
General animals seen: impala, waterbuck, hippos, warthog, common duiker, vervet monkeys, chackma baboons, zebra, giraffe, elephant and rhinos
Highlights: Although the day was very quiet for us, we managed to find a male cheetah walking on the road approximately 1kms from Doispan on the Albaseni. It seemed that he was starting a hunt as all focus was on a herd of impala in the distance. As he moved off, we lost visual due to the tall grass, however guests were pleased to have spotted their first cat on safari and have some amazing photos of this wonderful animal.
Tomorrow we try for Lions and Leopards.

Route: Napi - Doispan - Albaseni - Fiay loop - Nkambeni
General animals seen: the same as above with the exception of steenbok and common Rheedbuck
Highlights: on Napi we found a sable bull and spent time with him as he contemplated the cross over the road. After a while he walked out in full view of all guests and we all got excellent photos.
Down the road we found a single male wild dog running down the road calling for the rest of the pack. We turned the car around and followed him as he searched. After a couple of minutes he turned off into thick bush and we lost sight of him.
Still down napi we found 3 male cheetah walking next to the road scent marking their territory. We also spent time with them enjoying the view and taking many different photos of these beautiful cats. Although still no lions all the guests enjoyed the sightings we had today.
