Today and
especially this morning there was just something in the air that made
everything special!
From the
Cheetah to the slender mongoose there was just brilliant light and very good
visuals!
Being peak
winter season the bush is open and dry allowing for superb sightings!
Species seen were
Zebra, Buffalo, Reedbuck, Elephants, Hyena, Impala, Hippo, Waterbuck, Cheetah,
W.Rhino, Bushbuck, Slender Mongoose, Steenboks!

This morning was
the last 4 hours on safari for our two ultra enthusiastic Ozzie and we're they
rewarded!
We located a
pack of 8 Wild dog which were mobile next to us for over 5 min! They then
disappeared after a rather boisterous Buffalo herd interrupted their planned
direction process!
Then 10 min
later we picked up 2 Leopards in a knob-thorn tree, distant but very good
visuals with binocs! They were feeding on an Impala and then lay there facing
us!!!
Other species
seen were W. Rhino, Elephant, Kudu, Hippo, Impala, Croc, Waterbuck, Giraffes
and Zebra!
This afternoon
with temperatures dropping we saw great sightings of Buffalo, Elephant and
Kudu!
We wish Mim and
Patris a great stay in the fairest of Capes!

Today was
remarkable in that we got the magnificent 7 before 10 am!!!
The Wild dog
took the cake though where they were right in front of us trying to snatch yet
again a calf Buffalo from the herd!!!!
Lions were
awesome as well sunning themselves on a really nippy morning!
Leopards were
still tree perched and Cheetah were seen on no less than 3 occasions!
Buffalo, Elephant
and w rhino where in abundance!
However the top
of tops was a Black Rhino running at pace at us!!!!......... Snorting and
grunting like crazy until it crossed the road!
It was one
special day!!!!!

With the bush
opening up in peak winter, sightings are definitely easier to come bye!
It was Ed’s
last drive this morning and even though his stay was short he thoroughly
enjoyed every minute!
We said goodbye
to Rufaus and Nenon who probably had some of the best luck on a safari with me
for a while!
Then it was the
turn of the Singapore 2 who seemed to continue our lucky streak! Last night
they got 5/5 on sundowner including Lion stalking Buffalo!!!!
This afternoon
we had a beautiful sighting of a female Leopard near Pretoriuskop camp but the
highlight of the day although brief came at 17:10 pm!
4 Majestic
Sable bulls appeared out of nowhere and stood facing us for 5 min before
proudly moving off into the sunset!!!!
It was quite a
day and we look forward to the morning!
