Great start to October

We have started October pretty well !!

I cannot really go into full detail of all animals we have been spotting over recent days, as it is just too many. Having said that, here some of the best pics our tracker managed to snap.

We saw a Croc at Diep Dam for instance, and that made for an amazing shot. See for yourselves!

He has become a big boy over the years!

We went to the den site and got some great shots of the Wild Dog – the puppies are growing SO fast. This is Africa’s second rarest carnivore, with only about 3000 specimen left in the wild. To be seeing them like that … it is arguably better than finding the rarest of gems. A true privilege. And a source of huge pride for our wildlife conservation efforts.

We also tracked and found the Cheetahs north of Pieter Janneke’s Khaya land. They had just caught a young
Kudu cow. We sat and watched them feed for about an hour. Amazing – we must have missed the kill by
minutes.


We tracked and found the elephants after days of searching on the Bokmakiere cutline – we took some great photos when we finally did find them.They were pretty relaxed and feeding. What a sighting … our guests were excited, to say the least.
One doesn’t see large elephants that up-close in many places …
