Spectacular days!

These recent days have been truly astonishing again – the spectrum of wildlife you can see on our reserve is truly spectacular. It goes from the rarest to the most famous onto the bizarre & funny.

We tracked and found the Wild dogs. They were on the move so we didn’t manage to get many photos.

Always a great treat to see them. The second rarest carnivores in Africa! It’s  a privilege.

We saw Jackal, Kudu and the funniest little Baboon sitting next to the road, just chilling and taking life day by day. Hilarious!

Togara and Uyai tracked the elephants and found the herd East of Nyala Road near Rooikat dam – the bull was being a bit of a grump (that’s his style) and proceeded to give us a spectacular dust bath show.

We saw Grey Loerie, Giraffe and Impala napping together in the tall grass, giraffe, Monkeys and a Kudu.

We tracked and found the Lions just west of False Thorn plains – the “younger” pride all together and sleeping (as usual). We snapped some cool photos of one of the young males. They are growing into proper adult males now.

We saw and could snap a quick shot of a BUSH PIG! Yay! They are VERY rarely spotted and even harder to capture on camera – but we got him! Super excited.

We ALSO saw a LEOPARD! AND managed a quick photo – between maneuvering the vehicle and keeping the spotlight steady it is quite the task to capture these spotted cats on a photo. But all went well. He was there for a bit and then vanished ever so quickly into the dark of the night. Our guests loved it!!

March indeed is an amazing month for safaris, at least to judge by this year.

I wish I had more time to go out myself and see the many animals our guests get to see. Lucky them! 🙂
