Finally … it has been such a dry season so far … We have had over 90 mm of rain in the past three days. Internet connection has been shady to say the least as a result of the storms. But it is a price worth paying. The rain has been more than welcome. And we could definitely do with more. We need another 100mm before the dry season sets in and that’s the barest minimum.
Parts of the Kruger Park have seen some serious flooding – roads and camps have flooded and been closed.
But sigthings on our reserve over the last days have been amazing at the same time!
On our drives we saw elephants at 5 star junction – we tracked them along with the MRL guides and we had a
great sighting. This was before the rains came and one can see the dry conditions and sand. Now there is
water pretty much everywhere.
We tracked and found the lions at Big Dam in the afternoon. They were taking in the sights and spent some time watching an Impala across the dam.
The next morning we tracked and found them near the Essem open area. They had taken down an Impala, ironically and the lioness was happily munching away.
We also tracked and found a Rhino – see how close you get to see these giants here! You really can’t beat that.
I received hundreds of photos, I tried my best to select the best. I love the one with the lioness overlooking the lake – her home! Just beautiful, such an African iconic moment.
