The depth and rawness of nature here is really quite overwhelming by times, and I have seen a thing or two, that’s for sure.
It’s also the variety of every day that’s so surprisng. No day is like any day ever before. You never know what you’ll get when you head out.
Here an example of what we saw a couple of days ago … a spectacular day indeed.
We tracked and found the Cheetah female with her 3 Cubs near Diep Dam – they are still doing well and have become quite relaxed with the vehicle – we spent around 15 minutes watching them move and rest and move and rest. What a sighting, and what iconic photos our guests managed. Memories to treasure a lifetime.
On our way back to the lodge we took the Entrance Road from Main Gate side and saw something in the bushes. Krest spotted it and we saw it was the lions. Amazing! They were on the move and clearly looking for a snack. We stayed with them for about 10 minutes as they disappeared into the thicket.
We also found a dead Impala with some tracks around it – hard to tell for sure as it is quite “rocky” terrain. But the Vultures were having a feast!
Also interestingL Egyptian Goose in her nest!
Some of the more spectacular sightings were the Herd of Elephants that crossed the road RIGHT in front of us and walked off munching away – they were spotted on the Eastern River Track. We even saw one of the tiny elephant calves suckling on the Mom. Very moving indeed and our guests must have taken hundreds of photos. They couldn’t have been happier. Lots of smiles.
Not long after we saw Zebra with her foal, also suckling! Babies everywhere … 😉
