What a day, what a day …

It’s been an unusual month … first high temperatures, much higher than average, and then a cold spell with rain, which is also very unusual, so early on in the season, and then it was followed up again by very high temperatures, and that’s how the month of September ended.

But on the last day it ended beautifully. Loads of sightings, lots of happy guests!

What did we see? Well, loads of giraffes, and Uyai managed a stunning photo of a giraffe journey. Beware: these animals are MUCH bigger in the flesh than on the pictures. They are a sight to be seen!

And what would an African safari be without seeing a huge croc? Well, you certainly get to see them here!

 

And last but not least, a crash of rhinos! Super rare, super impressive, a sighting that is a pure privilege, especially if it is this up-close. We sat with these white rhinos for about 20min, taking loads of photos. Amazing, just amazing.

We then heard on the radio that fresh lion tracks had been spotted on Muruti and we decided to investigate after drinks stop.
MRL beat us to it and Diff found the female with the cubs on the move. We followed them for a while and they settled near a little water pan – we stayed with them for about 20 minutes or so and then turned down for dinner at the lodge.

Wow, what an amazing end to September. We are looking forward to spring time in October. This day was a very good omen indeed!
