Todays early
short drive paid off with a magnificent Wild dog sighting!
15 dogs that
had recently killed a klipspringer and most were covered in blood!
The one male
had the antelopes head in its mouth clearly demonstrating the antelopes
distinctive straight horns! He was not letting go of his prize possession or
sharing it!!!
In amongst all
this we suddenly had a mating pair right next to us!!!!
Phenomenal
stuff!!!
We say goodbye
to Joy, leanne and Danny! This epic trio leave with 6 epic sightings out of 7
and with a lot more laughs than expected!!!
Travel safe guys
and Danny ... See you in July!!!!!
Afternoon Safari:
This afternoon
latasha and I went seeking for the leopard to complete her big 5 and did we hit
luck!
Close to Kruger
gate a female had hauled an impala up the large Sycamore tree! She ate for over
25 minutes and then allowed her cub to come and eat!
It was beyond
brilliant!
Later on our
way to camp we got the same Wild dog pack seen this morning!!!!
Tomorrow we carry
on!

2015
On the last day
of this epic safari we kept our high standards up! So far this safari had
produced many highlights!
Mating Impala, mating
Wild dog, Mating Elephant and a pure white waterbuck!!!!
Phenomenal sightings
of Lion, Leopard, Buffalo and W.Rhino to name but a few!
With latasha
the only member of our party left on safari there were outside odds on her
possibly getting the unique magnificent 7!
Approaching
temperatures of 27 I seriously thought her chances were gone!
I was to be
proved wrong as on river road we were totally stunned to find 2 male Cheetahs
slowly walking along in the middle of the road!!!
Mouths gasped
we quietly followed these 2 magnificent cats for no less than 4,3 km!
Mind blowing as
well was the fact that despite it being a busy Saturday in the Park we were the
only vehicle on the sighting!
Turns out most vehicles
were at a Leopard sighting (same 1 as yesterday!) just up the road!
We watched for
30 odd minutes before they suddenly decided to head for some much needed
shade!!
Topping it all
we saw the Leopard and her cub on our way to lunch !
Other species
seen were:
W.rhino, Buffalo,
Elephant, Bushbuck, Nyala, Kudu, Impala, Zebra, Waterbuck, Croc and Hippo!
We say safe
travels to Latasha and welcome her to the magnificent 7 club!!!!
