We have had some drizzle – again! We have had such a long dry season, and we were getting very concerned.  Then 4 days ago, for the first time ever in living memory, we got a huge hale storm, which caused a lot of damage to many cars in the area. We were spared though, so lucky us. Since then, the weather has been extremely unpredictable and can change in seconds.

This morning was the first sunny morning we have had in days. We tracked the elephants deep into the south of Moditlo, it took us around 45 minutes to find them – so the reward was fantastic! We had a great sighting and the matriarch was cool, calm and collected. We spent quite a bit of time with them as we worked hard for this sighting.

Uyai tracked the lions up into Bloubank and found them on a fresh wildebeest kill. Two of the females and the cubs! The kill must have happened in the night. They were not phased by us and had eaten most of the carcass already. Clearly, all help came too late for this wildebeest. 😉 The lions were taking periodic naps and we sat with them for quite some time. Amazing memories for our guests …. this is the sort of sightings for which you fly all the way over here.

With the sunshine today and the rain we’ve had we are sure that the bush will be flourishing this afternoon. The cycle of life begins anew!
