Yet another
cold and overcast morning but at least the rain only fell overnight!!!
Todays
highlight was most definitely the lion sighting we had.
Found by
another guide we got to the location to find a few vultures skulking around in
the dry river bed.
As we rolled
forward we found a lioness protecting the remains of a kill (a kudu kill to be
precise) thinking it was just one lioness we were surprised to see a second
lioness suddenly appear and chase away the ever encroaching vultures.
As vehicles
came and went we were able to roll further forward and found three more very
full gals.
More and more
vultures turned up but they were having no luck, yet, as these lionesses were
not finished.
Another
highlight was seeing a kori bustard down in this part of the park. More often
seen further north it was a pleasant surprise.
Also seen
white rhino, elephants, Cape buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, hippo, baboon,
vervets, warthog, giraffe, steenbok, Nyala, Impala, dwarf mongoose, kudu,
waterbuck and crocodile.
Birds included
crested francolin, blacksmith lapwing, grey heron, African jacana, African fish
eagle and water thick knee.
