18 August 2015
So today we
set out for the day with the Volunteers from Care For Wild. This proved to be a
great day and as all the pax were passionate about the bush it even added to
the day. Many different questions from the ladies kept the day interesting.
Rob called me
and let me know that Wild dog were spotted in the area and we should be on the
look out. This was good cause as we came around the corner we found them
running towards us. Later at the sighting 2 cheetah arrived a female with a sub
adult cub. They lay on the termite mound while the dogs moved towards them and
once again back on the road and away from them again. Would of been interesting
to see the interaction between dogs and cat.
We got word of
a possible leopard sighting and responded as it was unusual to hear that there
were 3 together. On our way there we bumped ourselves into a lioness and her
cubs lying on the side of the road.
On our arrival
at the leopard we saw the hyena chase the female up into the tree and as she
lay and snarled so the hyena moved off into the bush. Out popes the sub adult
leopards and moved across the road in front of us.
Crazy times
ahead with brilliant sights of buffalo and elephant before we stopped at
skukuza for a leg stretch. Magnificent 7 done before 09:30 WOW was the day.

What a great day
and ending on a highlight of a crash of Rhino right next to the car.
