Once again the Hyena shows herself!
Chef Kris and myself were on our way to work on the 24 July when just 300 meters from the Vuyani Safari Lodge, Kris hit the brakes as a female Spotted Hyena was walking across the road in front of us. The reason we knew this was a female Hyena is that we had seen her a number of times before. We noticed every time her injured back leg as she strolled off slowly away from us.
On arrival at the lodge Quinton and I quickly rounded up all the guests and headed out on safari to see if we could try and find her again. After circling the area where she had gone into the bush, it became present that she wasn’t coming out, possibly indicating that she may have a den in the area somewhere closeby. We have seen her and others rather frequently in the area so are holding thumbs to find their den at some point soon.
