Every day is different and you never know what you’ll get.
Today was definitely a cats’ day. Several truly amazing photos were taken, and our guests were blown away by the sheer variety of cats they saw today, how close-up they saw them, and how much time they got to spend watching these super rare creatures. A true privilege indeed …
So how did the day go?
First off, having barely left the lodge, we tracked and found the cheetahs along with MRL guides. They were lazy as usual and flopped down for a much needed nap. What a life. We saw them again in the evening, out and about, and our guests snapped some mind-blowing shots. See below, and tell me I am lying. 😉
In the evening we tracked and found the lions on a Waterbuck kill!! Aggy, the tracker, has some serious skills managing the spotlight and taking photos through the thicket. I have never heard of a waterbuch kill, this is a rare one. It is usually wildebeest, impala, or a zebra. But a waterbuck? Our lions have a wide spectrum of hunting skills. So that was yet another spectacular sighting and we spent nearly 40 mins with them, just listening to the munching and crunching of bones. Gruesome, this is something our guests won’t forget.
We also saw a Serval with Hendrick – this was a cool sighting as they don’t usually sit very still for long. But we managed some awesome photos, if I may say so. I personally have never seen one so close-up … I am a little jealous, but at least I get to see the photos! 😉
