Over the last 2 days the weather has been unusual, with over cast skies, but the same temperatures (about 18-26 degree Celsius). That’s very unusual for a late September/early October time, but now the weather is fine again. This was odd, because until Friday it was 26-28 degree Celsius every day during daytime (which is just perfect), with blue skies, but then this weekend was not as perfect. Well, maybe we are so blessed with great weather all the time that the odd two days when it is not that great it seems so unusual to us. In general, when it is overcast, and the winds pick up, there is less game to be seen, as animals feel exposed when the wind is blowing, giving away their locations to predators.
Still, Mike has seen lots of general game over the last two days with our guests, and amongst the many photos I received, I picked a beautiful herd of wildebest, and also a group of hippos. Hippos never fail to impress with their wild antics in the lake, their displays of dominance being a key part of their social behavior. That’s definitely always the highlight of any sundowner drinks near one of our many lakes (we have over 30 lakes on our huge reserve!)
