This
afternoon we welcomed David and Louisa, who are on their honeymoon, on Safari.
After transferring from White River, we entered the Park for a short Game Drive
on route to our camp for the next 2 nights; Pretoriuskop.
After
having driven for about 10 min, not yet having seen anything, we came across 4
majestic Kudu bulls in their prime. We watched them gracefully crossing the
road one by one and eventually let them be. A short while later, having driven
a total of about 10 km, there was a small pride of Lions walking along the
road. We had the cool wet weather to thank for this as they were trying to
escape the wet grass and it was also not too hot for them to be on the move.
The pride, consisting of 1 adult male, 1 younger male and 3 females, were very
active, frequently lying down in the road, rolling over and playfully grooming
each other. We followed them down the road for about a kilometer where
their pathway led them off the road and back into longer grass. We watched
until we had lost sight of them in the grass. A truly amazing start to the
Safari...
