It has been a little quieter as of late – we had around 50mm of rain yesterday and in some parts of Leadwood up to 75mm. Great news!
Game Drives were quite a challenge as it was VERY wet – animals were hiding away. It rained nearly the whole day yesterday. We couldn’t take photos as we were hiding away in our Ponchos. 🙂
We have been tracking the Lions for around two days now – and searched all around the Blaauwbank portion of the reserve – it feels
like all the animals have migrated here.
We finally found two lionesses and spent around 45 minutes with them until it started raining. The rain chased us back to the lodge. This is rare, but it happens. Rain over here, when it happens, is usually short and strong, and more often than not it happens at night. Typical monsoon type of rain.
This morning it was still overcast and quite windy but we managed to track down some Rhinos on Leopards bend and spent quite a considerable time with them. The sun peeked out of a couple of seconds which made for some great photos. We also saw Giraffe, Zebra and I managed to snap a quick photo of a Grey Duiker. That’s rare actually, as they are chronically skittish. Great work!
Overall, despite the rain and all, looking through the photos, it’s been a great 24 hours, and our guests had an amazing time.
