This is ridiculous!

Some days start off a bit quiet, and as things get going, it keeps getting better and better, and by the end of the day, you know that it was one of the best days out on safari that month. And today was one of those days.

But see for yourselves (and these are just the highlights!)

After three days trying to track the elephants, finally we got to see them crossing the road at the Essen cutline and bok- makiri. You could see that they were having a get together family moment along with the small baby elephant. Cuter than cute. Our guests were ecstatic about seeing this little cutie pie.

A few minutes later after our coffee break, east of cotton field Hendrick & Aggy spotted again two cheetahs (we had seen two other cheetahs earlier that day, how crazy is that?) who had killed a baby wildebeest, and who seemed to be having a good breakfast meal.

Close up enough? Our guests agreed it was.

On our way back to the lodge, we then picked up fresh lion tracks (male & female lion) and we found them south of the River Lodge on a dried riverbed, just relaxing there. Our guests took loads of stunning photos …

Well, this was a day to treasure for our guests, for a lifetime actually. And I didn’t even mention the rhino we saw, chilling in the water, or the giraffes we saw, and the many birds, … the blog story would just get too long.

This reserve keeps getting better and better, for all our guests who have visited us in the past … come back, and enjoy some of the best safaris you can get in South Africa. It’s never been better than now!
