Today was the last day of the tour for some of
our guests but as always we had time for one last drive. It's always nice to
see one new species of mammal everyday and today we managed to get a look at
cheetah. This one was hiding away to the left of a tree taking shade from what
was already a very hot sun. It was in no mood to move much but every now and
again it popped it's head up for us. When we weren't at the cheetah sighting we
had plenty else to look at with many sightings of kudu, impala, giraffe and
zebra. We also had a couple of nice rhino sightings and ellies. With the area
around us mostly burnt we also saw lots and lots of steenbok and duiker. It was
then time to say farewell to Sandra, Phillip and Railla who are either off home
or continuing their travels around South Africa. Thanks for your company over
the last few days, hope to see you again sometime.
After lunch it was time to head down to our new
camp, we headed down to Berg-en-dal via voortrekker which was fairly quiet. We
did see a nice group of ellies spread out over the valley as well as general
game. Down the H3 we found more ellies, buffalo, giraffe, and general game as
well as a nice hyena lying by her den. We took a trip down to Renosterpan which
had plenty of bird life such as lapwings, hamerkops, black storks and
thickness.

The last day of the tour and we set off early
from berg en dal up the H3. Unfortunately this road was fairly quiet this
morning although we did find plenty of elephants along with buffalo, kudu, and
impala We stopped at Skukuza for a bit of lunch, sitting overlooking the sable
river, before we took a drive along elloff. Here we managed to get some good
photos of a couple of Bushbuck, not always easy as they are often quick to take
cover in the dense bush when spotted. Also along the river we found plenty of
kudu, impala and hippos before we had to leave the park. After transferring to
Nelspruit it was time to say bon voyage to Kate. It has been lovely having you
on tour with us, enjoy the rest of your travels before you get home and
hopefully we will see you again with us at Nhongo safaris.
More coming soon!!
