Day Trip with Dean

Today we picked up the predator course guests from the NumbiGate. We made our way down to Mestel Dam getting good sightings of impala and hippo, we moved on down the Albasini road and then up the Shabeni junction road, getting sightings of more impala as well as some elephant. We moved on going around a quite Shabeni Koppies with only a sighting of baboons in the area. We carried on with our game drive around Manungu Kopies getting a large herd of elephants with a good number of calves. After this it was off to the camp of Pretoriuskop for some breakfast.

After having enjoyed a good breakfast, we made our way down the Napi road getting sightings of elephant, impala, kudu, warthog, hippo and a hyena pup lying next to the road. We then made our way down the H3 and onto the S112. After this we made our way up the Stevenson Hamilton road and up the S114 in the direction of Skukuza.

Upon arrival at Skukuza, everyone needed a toilet break and wanted to do some shopping at the camp shop. Once everyone was ready we made our way to the Skukuza Golf club for lunch.

At 14h00, after everyone had enjoyed a good lunch, it was out again, which turned out to be quite other than a rhino and a herd of elephants. We made our way back up to Doispane road in the direction of Phaneni Gate getting more elephant, large herd of buffalo, African fish eagles and some hippos.

We proceeded onto the gate as it was time to say goodbye to the group.

Everybody enjoyed the day although it was a quite experience with regards to the cat species in the Kruger National Park due to the amount of traffic this time of year.
