Today was a wash
with great sighting after great sighting!!!
The highlight
was the leopard sightings we had. Called in by Gert we responded to it and
found a traffic jam all looking out for these leopards.
Taking a
chance we entered the little loop from the other direction and got lucky as one
leopard popped up right next to us while all the other vehicles were looking
elsewhere. While it walked we then circled the loop and positioned the vehicle again
hoping to get another look.
Well it was
either great positioning or amazing luck but out popped the leopard again this
time crossing the road in front of us...
Well if you
can be lucky twice why not a third time so at the end of the morning, just
before lunch, we returned to have another look.
Hey presto we
found it again, this time lying in a tree just three meters from the road and
about ten foot high giving myself and my guests a great photo shoot. And this
time we had the sighting all too ourselves!!!
In the rest of
the day we found a pride of lions relaxing in the shade, but by being patient
we got some great pics as one decided to pose for us on a termite mound,
elephants, buffalo, white rhino, kudu, waterbuck, zebra, wildebeest, warthog,
giraffe, hyena, sable, klipspringer, Impala, baboon, hippo and crocodile we
also spotted.
Birds include
the bataleur, African fish eagle, blue waxbill, southern ground hornbill, cape
glossy starling, purple crested turaco, grey heron, hamerkop, Egyptian geese,
red billed hornbill and yellow billed hornbill.
