My 2 American
guests arrived today and went straight on their sunset drive ..... It was
rather quiet but some good sightings of general game were seen!
28 March 2015
Today turned
out to be a freak day where we saw on not more than 2 occasions ...
Leopard , lion
, spotted hyena , Cheetah, Buffalo, Elephant and W.Rhino! With them all being
magnificent sightings I would have to pick the male Cheetah seen at 11:06am to
be the tops! This male initially seen on some flat rocks on the Albasini road
suddenly came straight towards us and then walked parallel with us on the road
for 3,3 km!
Not to mention
that this special cat actually carefully chose 3 Marula trees to climb and
basically stretched and claw marked each one! The sighting was ever so special
once again because we were the only vehicle there!
Our Swedish
guests who joined us for the afternoon were so incredibly lucky to see what
they did in 3 hrs!!!!

The last day
for our 4 keen guests dawned with welcoming cool weather! We set out with the
hope that we could spot the rare wild dog to complete the "magnificent
7".
Knowing this
was going to be a tough call in the time we had we were however optimistically
positive as these guests had already seen species beyond their wildest dreams!
Sure as nuts
after s brief coffee break a wild dog location came through on the radio!
On arriving at
the scene we were soon to learn that this was going to be the sighting of the
trip!
The wild dog
repetitively tried to snatch 2 Buffalo calves from a rather large and
aggressive herd!
There were 15
adult dogs in total so they had numbers but were no match for the large female
Buffs charging at them continuously!
This happened
in the open and lasted 45 minutes!
The magnificent
7 had been achieved and for 2 particular guests in 4 hours of game viewing! A
total rarity in itself!
To top it all
on our way out we got a mating pair of lion!
It had been a
safari that one could talk about for years! Most importantly fun was had and
friendships were made too!!!!!
