4-7 April
The past few days we spotted the 4 sub adults of the Styx pride moving around and eventually making a kill. We saw 4 different herds of Elephants moving around in the areas of the lodge, with a few youngsters investigating the vehicle at close quarters and entertaining us with their braveness. Buffalo have not been seen often lately but we spotted a few old males resting in the mud at two different waterholes. Leopard sightings have been very good. Xivambalane the male Leopard, tracks lead from camp towards our open area in front of lodge, soon to be spotted resting in the morning sun and posing for great photography.
8-9 April
Yesterday morning started very well for us. We saw the whole Styx pride resting in the morning sun. They became active with some of the adults playing and the cubs soon followed. It was a very pleasant sighting. We also saw some nice Buffalo bulls resting along small puddles. Not doing much. This morning we saw a very big Elephant bull walking along one of the main roads. Apart from our wonderful sighting of the lions and elephant we saw loads of other general game.
