Today Kara and
myself collected 10 guests from the USA.
After a long
journey we all settled in to our lodge relaxing sitting on the deck overlooking
the sabie river.
Early night all
round for an early start tomorrow on a morning drive.

We set off with
our breakfast packs and entered through Paul Kruger gate excited for our drive.
Our guests were excited at every single animal we came across, zebras, kudus, warthogs and impalas.
We came across
a Verreaux's eagle owl sitting in her nest and later saw 5 southern ground
hornbills walking across the road.
A drive down
watergat and lying flat was an old male lion, looking so old we had to actually
check to see if he was still breathing, we didn't need to worry he slowly sat
up and just as quickly flopped down lazily!
Temperatures
rising to the high 30's we headed back to the lodge for lunch before our guests
went on a sunset drive!

Today Amanda
and I decided to show the guests a different area of the park to where we drove
the first day. And for me too it was a new area to explore and it ended up
quite a adventure and seeing a few new and interesting things.
We entered in
at Paul Kruger gate and headed to Tchokwane. On our way in we started out by
seeing a pair of crowned hornbills which is quite special to see.
Especially
because I love birds. Past that we got 2 males sleeping next to a lake with
impalas drinking near by.
We also had
good luck getting a leopard with a kill up in a tree and lions a bit away.
Right after
baboons spotted the lions and successfully drove them away along the river.
While stopping
for coffee at Tchokwane we were lucky to see African Clawless Otter swimming in
the river.
A breathtaking
day of good birding, elephants, giraffes, rhinos, blue wildebeests and cat
sightings.
While perfect weather
after a very hot week. The animals and all off us are really hoping this windy
weather is bringing rain!
