We had a great day yesterday! We initially set out to find the Cheetah, this was our main goal. As we set off
from the lodge we got Nyala and shortly after a Tower of Giraffe. A curious Warthog posed for some photos. Uyai picked up some fresh lion tracks and we set off determined to find them. We had to basically make a road through the thicket – but it all paid off! 😉
There they were lying in the dry river bed, being lazy lions as usual. We easily spent around 20 minutes with them.
On our way we saw a Rhino Bull and only managed two photos before he moved off. We drove to “Porcupine Dam” for a sundowner and caught a glimpse of one of the Crocs lying outside the water. Uyai managed some photos through the trees.
This morning we had no specific plan – but we were leaning towards finding the Cheetah again. And then we spotted FRESH elephant tracks! We have been looking for the herd for nearly a week now (which is very unusual!) So we decided to follow up! And, wow, did it pay off!! We spent close to an hour with the herd, watching them browse, the little one was very playful and provided us with some great photo opportunities. I especially like the one youngster who had a huge branch in his mouth, fooling around. Our guests were very, very happy, and I think it’s obvious why that is … a truly amazing day. And as always, it never quite turns out the way you planned it, over here, nature plans things for you. And that’s really nice actually, every day is totally different.
