Our short pm
safari this afternoon was totally dominated by Elephant!!
What was
amazing to us was watching 3 Elephant bulls feeding on Sycamore leaves in a dry
river bed!!
Out of the blue
and further down the dry riverbed came a younger bull with quite an attitude
with a mission of stealing the fresh leaves!!
However he was
soon put in his place by the older males and was literally leaves free for 15
minutes until they kindly allowed him to share some!!
Great birding
and general game spotting was also achieved!
Tomorrow its a
5am start!

Today due to
early rising by Thomas and Sonja we were first in at Phabeni gate at 05-20 am!!
We were truly
rewarded with what was in the end the top sighting of the day.. a huge Hippo
bull that approached us from his night out feeding!!
To see this
massive mammal when it is on the " trot" so to speak is something
special!!!
The big male
literally stopped to observe us for a couple minutes then increased its pace, crossing
the road at an ever increasing pace towards its safe region of water nearby!!
The rest of the
morning was full of sightings of Lion, Elephant. Buffalo, W.Rhino and plenty
general game!!
Tonight guests
enjoy a night drive.
