Today we headed
for Letaba with the intention of continuing the Mopani forests filming but as
happens in the bush one can get very side tracked!
A herd of
Impala in perfect morning light in amongst the colours green, yellow and red
Mopani leaves was a bonus for the film crew!
Later on a
visitor told us She had seen a leopard on a rocky outcrop which we didn't see
but got brilliant audio of it's bark echoing through the valley!
A sighting
which we filmed for 2 hours was a pair of Spotted Hyena which had brought down
a young Impala female and we're each trying to get the royal share!
Finally after
Mopani filming we started journeying in the direction of Phalaborwa gate on
route to Naledi private game reserve which adjoins the Timbivati reserve which
borders Kruger.
We left the sea
of Mopani behind us and said goodbye to a fascinating ecosystem and hello to
the new mixed savannah woodland area which occurs within 30 minutes of exiting
Phalaborwa gate!
On safari at
Naledi we tracked and found the very rare Black Rhino with her calf which sent
the crew into total excitement mode!!!
The female and
calf were the rarest species this documentary crew had filmed since beginning
this world series (for Jungle Planet) nearly 3 years ago!!!!!
To film a Black
Rhino for 55 minutes with superb visual is a rarity on its own!
For me
personally it was my best Black Rhino sighting ever so far!
Today we are
hopefully going to track some Cats!
We will be
grateful for whatever comes our way!
