On our last
morning of this safari we had a short game drive before exiting the park. We
saw a tiny baby giraffe that could barely put its head on its mum's
hindquarters. We met a family of white rhino with a very small baby.
And we saw a
baby elephant that was still wobbly on its feet, so adorable.
But our highlight
was seeing a second leopard of this safari. It caught us by surprise. We heard
reedbuck alarm calling and scouted around when it suddenly crossed the road in
front of us. After crossing it stood still for a second and while the reedbucks
were still going crazy on our right he walked away to our left. Nicely
camouflaged we had on and off sightings of him. However the moment another
reedbuck in the high grass broke cover and ran away, the leopard instantly paid
attention. It stopped in its tracks and watched the reedbuck go, which gave us
an excellent opportunity for some facial shots. He had no interest in the
reedbuck though, as after a few seconds he walked on again. But it was a great
end of this safari!
Other
interesting sightings included kudu, lots of zebras, giraffes, elephants, white
rhinos, buffalos, klipspringers, impalas, waterbucks, reedbucks, common grey
duikers and warthogs.
