We have had a couple of big rain events over the last 4 weeks, and notably a few days ago, some parts of the reserve got over 80mm of rain, which is huge. Some rivers started flowing, so that is excellent news. As a result nature has greened up loads, and wildlife is rampant.
Today, zebras and cheetahs were tracked and found by Vuyani and MRL guides on the Riversdale Cutline. They were pretty chilled and didn’t move much. We sat with them about 10 minutes or so. We managed some beautiful shots of them. Just see below. 🙂
We also tracked and found the elephants south of the Moditlo Main Gate, they were taking a drink of water and then
moved off in a Western direction. Our guests were beyond excitement to see these huge animals. Biggest animals on earth actually (if you take out sea animals)
We then went to the wild dog den site and they were pretty active. Running all over the place. We got a nice shot
with Hendrick in the driver seat. What a privilege to have these super rare animals on our reserve! It’s mind-numbing, if you just think about their rarity, actually.
We also tracked and found the lions east of the lodge – they were in the thicket and had taken something down, by the looks of it giraffe (they have really turned into very skilled lions, that’s for sure). We could not access this morning, but we will try again … we are not the ones t give up here at the Vuyani Safari Lodge! 😉
