A truly outstanding safari day

Guests were treated to some fabulous sights today, they really were!

Fans of the big cats saw both cheetahs and lions feasting on a baby wildebeest.  That’s rare and incredible.

White rhinos were grazing and sitting in the warm sun, a young giraffe was using a bush to scratch an itch on its rump whilst another was sitting quietly with a red billed ox-pecker perched on its back. Beautiful, that’s African nature at its most stunning.

Other birds sighted were a cape gloss starling, a stepped eagle, a white backed vulture and a three banded plover, all posing nicely for the camera.

Other sightings included male kudu with their spectacular corks-screw horns, baboons drinking from water puddles in the river bed, black backed jackals, zebra, warthog and two shy waterbuck hiding in the bush.

I am posting the best shots of the many that were taken today, but I would saw a good dozen truly amazing sightings happened today, which is incredible. Our guests were treated to many of Africa’s rarest or most iconic animals, in one single day. The Vuyani Safari Lodge at its very best, I’d say. Well done to Themba and Uyai for their excellent work, today was spectacular.

Enjoy!
