Everyone has their favourite animal which they want to see more than any other in the Park and today’s request was for a black rhino ! We travelled the route that we know has yielded this magnificent beast recently but to no avail, and then, just as we thought our...
After a day like yesterday when were witness to a fresh lion kill, there’s always a fear that it’s a hard act to follow the following day, but , on the contrary, we had a good if not spectacular day in the bush today. At view point 17 in the south we were entertained...
A lion kill right in front of us and the only people there for an hour……. that’s how we started our day in the Park today ! The kill took place at the air strip in the south of the Park. The unfortunate victim was a fully grown zebra, and when we arrived...
A very quiet day in the bush today….but this should not be interpreted as a negative comment. The landscape alone makes a day in the Park worthwhile – it’s just that we had to settle for a day without predators for a change !! There were plenty of elephants,...
We had the cheetah sighting of a lifetime in the Park today – a mom with three cubs no more than 5 meters from our vehicle ! The cubs are about two months old and soooooo cute!! Sadly, if this is the same cheetah nom with cubs that we’ve been seeing near viewpoint 17...

Today had an amazing start : We saw four of the big five ( as usual the leopard was the missing link) on the corridor road before we had even entered the Park gate !! The lions that we saw was the Bridge pride which we’ve been seeing for a while now, but this morning...
Today’s weather in the Park was the best for about a week, virtually windless and mild, but rather than bringing the animals out it seemed to have the opposite effect !! In fact it was a really tough day out there, until we eventually came across two lions sitting...
What has happened to summer ??!! It’s already mid November but the morning temperatures during the past few weeks have been colder than the winter months ! All this means a slow start to the day sometimes because it seems the animal are also feeling the cold. Having...
We can’t complain about our weekend !! Although it was a quiet Saturday and an eventful Sunday, taken as a whole it was well above par !! Our highpoint of the weekend was a pride of 14 lions ( including 5 cubs ) chilling out right inside the Umbondwe picnic site just...
