Big 5 in one day!

We had a great day yesterday, between our reserve and the Kruger Park, all Big 5 were seen in one single day, and dozens of other species. This does happen regularly, of course, but it is still amazing when it does occur especially as we offer a very exclusive and traditional way of going on safari. There is no zoo-like ticking off the boxes here! With us it is all old-fashioned high-skilled tracking. And that’s what our guests love us for. The excitement rises steadily as you get closer to an animal, and the reward when it is finally spotted is many-fold compared to a cheap and quick sighting, shared with 3-4 another game drivers. That’s the sort of Formula 1-safari that we avoid here at any cost, and that’s what gives the experience here that very special touch.

Uyai didn’t get to take a photo of all sightings, as he was busy tracking and also entertaining our guests, but see below some really cool shots. The leopard is out of focus (and only half in the frame), I guess Uyai was a little over-excited. 😉 all too understandable!
