Today I picked
up my guests and headed for camp as they were scheduled to do the sundown
safari.
On their first
drive (sundown drive), they spotted many different species but the highlight
was the "white tailed" mongoose (uncommon animal to spot). This
little guy didn’t really stick around for photos and once spotted in the light,
it moved off into thick bush next to the road and no further sight of it was
gained.

This morning we
decided to head out a little later than normal and as the weather was just
ideal we stayed out a little longer than usual and this paid off.
We had numerous
sightings of general animals such as zebra, impala, waterbuck, giraffe, kudu,
vervet monkeys and warthog but the true highlight happened very early with the
beautiful sighting of 3 male cheetah walking parallel with the road scent
marking their territory. This was fantastic and all of us were able to get some
great photos of these beautiful cats as they walked along.

Although today
was rather quiet due to poor weather conditions initially, we managed to spot a
massive Sable bull enjoying the short grass and out in the open. I initially
didn't spot it and one of the guests asked me, “what's that black thing over
there”. I had to chuckle as it is one of the rarest antelope in the Kruger
National Park.
General animals
include: dwarf mongoose, banded mongoose, slender mongoose, Impala, kudu,
waterbuck, common rheedbok, zebra, steenbok, klipspringer, checkmate baboons,
vervet monkeys, hippos, crocodiles, common duiker, giraffe, warthog, lions,
buffalo, elephant and rhino.
It was then time
to say goodbye to my clients as they leave us and continue on with their
travels.
