We started our drive quite late with no intention of going
far, as I only had one guest on my vehicle and did not feel too well. We barely
left camp for our short mumble, when we came across something spectacular! No
not a leopard or lion nor a big animal of any sorts. This was a infamous mammal
not many knows exists, I for one was a non-believer, as I had thought I would
never see one in my life time. It looked stone like from a distance but as soon
as we got closer and saw its scaly body, it could not be denied, we were
looking at a pangolin! He was very relaxed and did not seem to mind our
presence; we spent our whole drive, which was a short one, pondering in awe of
this animal’s presence. We could not believe our luck as we headed back to
camp.
This morning was another story. The animals were plentiful. Sean went
west and saw Mvula, the Styx pride a dagga boy and a herd of elephant. I
however stayed in the east with a vehicle full of eager photographers. We found
a herd of elephant with a very cheeky youngster trying to scare us off, soon
after a big elephant bull with one tusk blocked our way so we headed north were
we came across a young crocodile sun bathing out of the water.
A lot of plains
game and birds were seen and right at the lodge a herd of impala and a dazzle
of zebra were grazing away in the lovely morning sun. Jaces Bornman
