My new guests
Ashliegh and Patrick arrived to a hot, humid overcast day in the Kruger.
After a freshen
up they headed off on a sunset drive where they came across Elephants, Buffalo
and 5 meters from the road...a lovely Cheetah!

Today was a
fantastic day in the park! After a filling breakfast and a good night's
sleep we headed off.
Today was
cloudy but incredibly humid. We headed to manugu koppies and came across very
fresh Lion tracks, we spent time following the tracks and could see they headed
off into the bush so we continued and found a family of 3 klipspringers enjoy
the view!
An update came
in of Leopards at flat rocks so we drove off and lazing on the rocks was a
young male leopard and his sister was in the tree close by, we sat and watched
as the female negotiated the best branches to use to get down, quite comical to
watch!.
These Leopards
were born at flat rocks and their mother has now mated again as they were born
in 2014, so they keep returning to their birthplace waiting for their mother,
they are catching a few dwarf mongoose while they are waiting but will
eventually realize she's not coming back.
Beautiful
Walbergs Eagle, lilac and European rollers were spotted.
After lunch we
left for a drive. We headed for shithave dam, en route we saw a big herd of
Elephants heading that way so we drove off to meet them. The buffalo were also
resting by the dam and took no notice of the elephants as they rushed off to
the water...we watched for over an hour as they rolled in the water drank
urgently and generally enjoyed the water, beautiful to see.
On our last leg
back we watched a Zebra as it rolled in the dust a few times until it joined
the rest of the herd.
All in all
another fantastic day in the park!
