We had a large group of 18 guests from the America over at the lodge until today (8 of them stayed at the nearby Khaya Ndlovu Lodge, and we fetched them every morning to go on safari with us). Jesse went to the Kruger Park for half a day during their stay, and they were quite lucky! They saw buffalos, elephants and even the rare hyena. Not bad for a half day trip, and what a treat!

See below the photos that Jesse took in the park. What beautiful animals. I have personally never seen a hyena in the wild, so I am, frankly, quite jealous. I should head out more on safari myself, and I have vowed to do that next time I am at the lodge.

We have quite a few hyenas on our reserve as well, especially on the Blauwbank portion of the reserve, and with us going there more often we will start seeing them more regularly over there as well.

The guests had a great time, and they saw pretty much all Big 5, and tons more. 18 guests at the same time was a challenge, and the team got a round of applause when they checked out. It was a real team effort! Well done!
