Sometimes one gets so close to something that you can smell the blood … literally.

Today was one of those days.

We stumbled upon a leopard kill that was, literally, seconds old. So close! The leopard, one of the more skittish ones, had decided to make off into the bush, probably to come back soon after us leaving. That said, our guests were in awe of the sheer (but real) brutality of nature. One second an impala is happily grazing away, the next moment it is someone else’s breakfast.

Otherwise today’s safari was a great day out in many other ways. We saw Kudu, a jackal, Wildebeest, Nyala, Impala, lots of giraffes and some cute monkeys fooling around in the riverbed. Near the end of our safari spotted a very lazy Rhino, grazing way, and enjoying a safe reserve for himself. Good for him! And a beautiful day out on safari had come to an end. The weather is glorious these days, the summer is nearing to the end, and the dry season is upon us. April – June is probably the best months in terms of weather here. We are already excited about that. Only thing is … we didn’t have much rain this year, so that’s a bit worrying for the upcoming dry season. It won’t be an issue, as we have had several years of amazing rain, so the water reservoir is still quite full, but I hope next year brings more rain again. But who knows Maybe we get lots of rain late in the season? It’s happened before.
