I mentioned in a recent story … every day out there on safari is different … and it is like a box of chocolate: you never know what you’ll get. Well, you have an idea, but then nature throws in these luck sightings that one really didn’t expect.
So yesterday we sighted a spotted hyena on a portion of the reserve we call “Leopard’s Bent”. Unfortunately he was rather quick and we only managed two quick photos. It was pure luck and the guests loved it … a very interesting, and quintessential animal to the ecosytem. Beautiful.
We then picked up fresh Cheetah tracks and found the two boys in the Zandspruit river bed. They were moving around and then flopped down and repeated this process a couple of times before settling down in some grassy shrub. It was a great sighting as they are so very relaxed and don’t seem to have a care in the world.
At the risk of repeating myself: If you are after some of the best sightings of this super rare, and iconic, animal, from up-close in wild nature, then we are one of the very top places to go to. It doesn’t get much better than this, quite frankly.
Let these photos speak for themselves!
