All 3 safari
cars lined up to go on safari and show our group wonderful African animals in
the bush. This was a unique safari as all of our wonderful guests have one
thing in common "the Bride and Groom". What a pleasure to have all
these Canadians on board with us.
It's off to
Skukuza we go. Highlight for the drive towards camp was the herd of buffalo we
spotted and stayed with them till they moved across the road right in front of
us, a lone elephant bull right on the road eating approximately 3m from the
car, white rhino 5m from the car, it had to be a power afternoon and heard many
guests asking the respective guides if it was normal to see so much or were we
just lucky.

This morning
we were up for an early morning drive before having breakfast.
The highlight
for this drive had to be the pack of wild dogs that were spotted on the road.
After following them for approximately 20min it was time for breakfast and depart
for Satara Camp.
Our highlight
had to be the 3 lions lying under an acacia tree just chilling waiting for the
heat of the day to break. As temperatures got to 44 Degrees, it was time for
the guests to get into a swimming pool in camp and cool down.
The night
drive highlights had to be the 2 lions walking down the road eventually moving
off into the bush looking as though they had lost the rest of the pride.

A new morning
a new start, an onto Olifants camp for breakfast.
On our drive
north, we stopped to watch a herd of elephants approach the road and all of a
sudden out popped 2 cheetah onto the road approx 50m ahead of us. Both these
males went along their daily activities with scent marking their territories.
Great photos
could be taken and on with the drive where the next highlight was the little
honey badger that to was busy with his early morning activities. After watching
this for a while we stopped of at one of the very few waterholes on route and
found 2 black manned lions lying enjoying the cool morning breeze combined with
the sunrise only offered by an African sun.
All sightings
have been special and the entire group has enjoyed themselves with been able to
see so much in literally 2.5 days. We wait in anticipation to see what's in
store for us for the remainder of the tour.
