13 December 2015
The first day
of a new safari and we were spoiled with two lion sightings. The first a big
male relaxing and hiding from the warming sun. Not much action going on except
for when he decided to roll over onto his back with all four paws in the air.
The second was
nicer, 3 lionesses and a youngish male up on top of a rocky area overlooking
their territory. With a troop of baboons just fifty meters away, all
conveniently situated up or close to a tree, alarm calling.
The guests also
had their sundowner drive this evening, unfortunately the weather wasn't on
their side with several rain showers throughout the evening so limited
sightings but they did see giraffe and had a troop of baboons come close as
they had drinks.
Also seen were
elephant, buffalo, Impala, steenbok, common duiker, sable, Vervet Monkeys,
zebra, waterbuck, kudu, crocodile and lots of warthogs with piglets.
Birds included
the cape glossy starling, white stork, marabou storks, red crested Korhaan,
tawny eagle and the returning call of the woodlands kingfishers.
