The morning
started of nice and cool, we headed out after a quick breakfast for a slow
drive to skukuza airport. On the way our guests excited from yesterday's
leopard sighting chatted away spotting nice zebras, kudu lots of impalas with
their Beautiful babies jumping all around. Lovely woodland kingfishers and nice
yellow billed kites were also spotted.
Along the napi
road we turned a corner approaching slowly as we spotted something in the
distance.. a mammal for sure swaggering without a care in the world.....getting
closer we realized it was a beautiful male leopard!!! He walked along
side the vehicle 10 meters away crossing the road without any interest in us!
We watched him
for 10 minutes and then he was gone out of sight...the elusive leopard!
For our American
friends their safari was coming to end as we took them to the airport and bid
them farewell. The afternoon promised rain and it came down with a vengeance!
Another beautiful day in Africa..

Nice early
start this morning, we packed our snacks and drinks and headed off to wherever
we wanted to in the park!! We drove around a small loop near camp looking for
the resident leopard.. after last night's rain the ground was nice and wet we
looked down for fresh track saw some nice buffalo tracks and there they were in
front of us!! Lots of babies with their mothers and a huge bull.
Driving around
the loop again as I heard the Woodlands kingfisher we passed where we had
driven and I looked down to see fresh, fresh leopard tracks...as they say the
leopard will see us before we see them.
With the
temperature rising to 42° we went to skukuza to get fresh ice cold drinks along
the way encountering elephant zebras rhinos kudu Waterbuck duiker steenbok and
some lovely birds including whitefaced whistling ducks saddle-billed storks
tawny eagles and lovely bataluer flying above us.
Returning to camp
it was ice creams and cold drinks all around to celebrate another wonderful day
in the Kruger park!
