A beautifully
cool morning in the Kruger as we set off for our morning drive.. mist covering
the koppies and giving us an eerie feeling as we drove, visibility was quite
bad but gave us great photo opportunities.
We headed
towards Skukuza the sun breaking through, we soon spotted a family of elephants
along the way with a young elephant playing with his older siblings, very
entertaining to see!
An update came
in of lions at Watergat, quite a drive but plenty to see along the way, a rhino
sleeping 20 meters from the road, lilac breasted rollers , impalas and zebras.
We arrived at
the lion sighting and counted 15 including a few young ones, impalas alarm
called as they came to drink and spotted the lions who were not interested in
moving for anything.
We spent an
hour watching them, do what lions do best, sleep!!!
After a visit
to Skukuza for coffee we headed back to camp, temperatures expected to rise to
39° today. We saw a few cars lined up on the way and there roughly 100 m in was
a cheetah! Very difficult to spot but my guests managed to see it!
We sat for a while
enjoying the cheetah but eventually lost visual and headed home.
One quick loop
before home and there lying gracefully was the young male leopard, completely
unfazed by our presence he sat up and watched us! Always a beautiful animal to
see, and when one is so relaxed even better!
A short
afternoon drive gave us beautiful landscape viewing opportunities as we watched
the African sun dip slowly on the horizon.
Another fantastic
day in the Kruger Park.
