Today was a good day. We were blown away by the amount of special sightings we had.

From a baby baboon hanging onto his moms belly while another sibling tries to steel him away. To two giraffes trying to mate and help the population grow.

Some mongoose were starting to become active from their termite mounds and having to make peace with sharing it with Large Plated Lizards.

The 2 cheetahs lying asleep under a sickle bush was a biiig bonus for our morning drive. Which we were very grateful for.

A big herd of buffalos also came down to a nearby dam to drink water later on and take a swim.

Not only did the buffalos enjoy the water in the heat of the day but also 2 male elephants were climbing on top of one another in Nyamundwa dam.

Today we had to say goodbye to our two Finnish Guests after yet a lovely game drive. Having seen a male lion lying next to the road and later Giraffes crossing the road.

A few hyenas also came to sniff our bumper and a elephant came to show us his size and remind us to have a healthy amount of respect for him.

My highlight was three male elephants trying to all squeeze themselves under one tree and pushing and shoving to fit.

Being our last morning together with my last remaining guests we still saw a few new species.

One being 2 klipspringers on a rocky outcrop eating from a marula and followed by a few reedbuck grazing in-between zebras.

A sable also walked next to a stream in the morning light.

Followed by a baby giraffe whom was sure he is a impala socializing between the herd.

As always it tough to say goodbye to Sebastian and Manuel after laughing and spending allot of time together. But all fun things need to come to an end.

Today I collected 4 new guests from Kruger airport, Emanuel and his wife along with their nephew and his wife.

We arrived at a very hot Kruger and checked into nkambeni camp. 

My guests were on a sundowner where they spotted elephants, zebras and lovely impalas. 

Early to bed after supper after a long day for my guests.

Today temperatures were expected to reach a high of 36° so set off early after breakfast towards skukuza. 

A magnificent herd of Elephants literally surround our car and came so close it was breathtaking. A dazzle of zebras and further along we waited patiently for 3 rhinos to cross the road a few meters ahead of us.

Things were hotting up as we took a turn onto napi boulders, always beautiful to look at this amazing rock formation. Looking in the shady parts of the rock we spotted 2 lionesses on closer inspection hidden deeper behind them were at least 3 others resting from the scorching African sun!

After spending some time with the lions we headed for a coffee break.

Stopping at a waterhole we saw a huge kudu bull coming to drink we watched and then drove slowly towards a little koppie where a leopard and her cub are sometimes found, we located the cave and sat for a while and after 5 mins she made her appearance, beautiful! 

A quick lunch and we headed back to camp as my guests wanted to do another sunset drive... luckily for them they found another leopard and 2 big male lions!

A great day had by all as we relax and catch up on the days events!
