Today we
decided to go down to lower sabi for breakfast and this can be a very beautiful
drive early Morning.
What an
experience as we were driving along we came across a pride of lions (Young and
Old). All lying around with bellies fat from a buffalo they had taken down.
The highlight
for the afternoon drive was listening to the wind in the bush and identifying
21 bird species just stationary. One of the highlights of the safari is just to
enjoy the magical sounds of the bush.
Other sights
include: Impala, warthog, vervet, bushbuck, nyala, kudu, waterbuck, slender, dwarf
and banded mongoose. Giraffe, hippos , crocs, rhinos, buffalo and elephant.

Today we left
camp as one of the first on the road and this paid off as we found 2 honey
badgers scratching and digging. Eventually after a short while, what ever was
in the hole, was pulled out and devoured by 2 very excited honey badgers. No
sooner had the finished their meal it was off into the push on their little
chirpy jog.
The following
highlight must be the "rutting" taking place. Impala males are
challenging each other around almost every corner and each time they get vocal
we have a good chuckle as the males keep the ladies under close watch.
Other animals:
warthog, steenbok, klipspringer, zebra, waterbuck, rhino, elephant, kudu,
lions, leopard, wild dogs and many different bird species.

Today we
visited the most southern section of the park we can visit, achieving the
"north to south" title.
On the way
south we found 2 male lion, bellies full and lying sleeping. After showing
other cars it was off to the Malelane gate where Bill and Nancy got great
photos of hippos and crocs at the most soybean section.
This means at
both the North TIP we photographed Crocs and the most Southern TIP we did the
same.
One other
highlight was to spot and show Bill the tiger fish in our rivers as he has a
very large passion for fly fishing.
Other seen:
Impala, kudu, blue wildebeest, giraffe, waterbuck, zebra, warthog, common
duiker, steenbok, buffalo, rhinos and elephant.
