Some days when you enter the Park you just know it’s going to be a cracker. Well, we had that feeling this morning and we certainly were not disappointed !! At the main Black Umfolozi bridge we had a pride of 14 lions ( including 5 cubs ) sitting in the river bed no...
Our luck with the cheetah mom and her 4 cubs continued today, we found her in the same spot as yesterday and again had the privilege of watching the 5 of them cavorting about 100 meters from our vehicle. No lions today, however. Elsewhere in the Park there was a wild...
We could not have asked for a better start to our day !! Not even one minute into the Park we had a pride of lions in the road in front of our vehicle. They moved off a few minutes later and then we realized that they had made a kill a little earlier because there...
Any day that one gets to see three black rhinos is a very special day indeed and that’s just what were lucky enough to experience today. These magnificent beasts are notoriously shy and yet very aggressive and you need to be on your guard if they approach your...
It was a day of two halves today !! For a few hours it seemed as though there was not an animal in the whole of the Park, but then, as it warmed up after a cold and damp start, they all came out to play. There were elephants near marker 12 in the south and a pride of...
We had a good start to our day in the bush today when we came across a 9 strong lion pride resting in the river bed at the main Umfolozi bridge. The cats were chilling out big time and were still there, albeit having moved all of 10 meters, when we crossed the bridge...
It seems the animals in the Park got their rest day mixed up this weekend !! They went Awol on Saturday which was a very quiet day indeed, except for a cheetah which made an appearance mid afternoon near view point 17 in the South. General game was also very sparse....
It was one of those days when we had to work hard for our rewards today ! After a good start to the day when we spotted a lioness walking along a ridge it became very quiet and that’s the way it stayed until mid morning when reports came through of a cheetah with cubs...
Today dawned overcast and showery in the Park and that pattern continued throughout the day. The weather seemed to have an effect on the animals as well because it was a very quiet beginning to the day, until a couple of wild dogs made an appearance near Umganu picnic...
We were spoilt by cats and dogs today ! Near Umbondwe picnic site early this morning we had a great lion sighting. There were ten of these magnificent beasts sitting on a ridge 50 m from our vehicle. They sat there for a while before moving off slowly in full view for...
