The last days (in fact almost 10 days) have seen several episodes of very strong rain, local floods, and very muddy safari conditions. That said, we were out most days, and our guests had a tremendous time. In fact, some of the most interesting and partially hilarious photos were taken over the recent 3 days. See for yourselves!
A couple of days ago we managed a very close-up sighting of elephants. They were crossing the dirt road, and soon disappeared in the thick bush. Our guests managed to take some really nice photos as well.
We also found a young male cheetah resting at one of the many small riverbeds. These riverbeds are usually dry, but due to heavy rainfall, they are now flowing. This is one of those “cherry on the top” sightings! It doesn’t get any more exciting than this, especially when it is such a close-up sighting, with a very relaxed cheetah. He was more than happy for our guests to snap away at him, and remained very calm.
Then our guests managed some hilarious photos of zebras fooling around, bathing in the dust, and seemingly laughing at them. Priceless!
As Kim describes it on our Facebook page (please subscribe for daily updates: ( https://www.facebook.com/pages/Vuyani-Lodge/160291423981740 ): we don’t have traffic here, we have giraffic here. What a beautiful “journey” of giraffes, right ahead of us, blocking the game driver. But we never mind, we have plenty of time.
I just have to share these pretty photos that Uyai took of our reserve over the last recent days. Nature is so green now, and with the summer sunsets, it makes for some spectacular African summer safari photos.
Can you spot him?
And finally, one of the prettiest photos ever of an impala herd. All alert, but most photo-genic! Nice.
I hope you enjoyed the photos, we are looking forward to welcoming you here soon!
