Summer is
definitely here.. not only are the Woodlands kingfishers calling but the real
feel temperature was 51°!!
My new guests
arrived the day before at skukuza airport. We took a short drive to skukuza
camp along the way a beautiful nyala bull stood in the road watching us before
heading off into the bush.
We stayed at
buhala lodge just outside the Kruger sitting on the deck watching a lone
buffalo wander along the banks of the crocodile river.
well rested we
headed out for an early morning drive, thankfully a cooler day today with the
promise of rain. Lots of impala babies following their mothers, then a light
rain came and we sat and watched as at least 5 impalas ran around trotting and
jumping all excited as the rain came, very nice to see.
My guests
desperately wanted to see lions.. so I headed off to where I'd heard they were,
we drove for an hour and then came across two of the most handsome young lions I'd
seen, my guests could hardly contain themselves as we sat with only one other
vehicle. One of the lions moved to another bush and to our delight started
calling not more than 10m away from us the sound reverberating through us.
On the journey
back we came across some adorable hyena babies of different ages just lying
relaxing on the side of the road very special to see.
After the heat of
the previous day the animals came out of hiding and to enjoy the cool
temperature. Lots of elephants, zebras and kudu....the leopard still eludes
us.. but there's always tomorrow!
