21 & 22 September

We started our afternoon with a big herd of elephants feeding about. A big female with a tiny youngster approached us. What a special start for our new guests. The Nkuhuma male lion was still feeding on his kill with a few White backed vultures perched close by.

This morning started slow for us as we followed some lion tracks following a herd of buffalo. Unfortunately both tracks went North. We did found some general game walking about and on or way to the lodge found another herd of elephants.

19 & 20 September

Our afternoon started well with a small herd of elephants feeding just West of the lodge. Again the young elephants tried their best to chase us away but instead they ran away from us. We found a fair size Buffalo herd grazing on a open area. Not far from the buffalo, the Styx pride were all found huddled up sleeping in the chilled wind. After we had our drink break, we were informed that the Styx pride had killed a sub- adult buffalo. When we got their they were busy feasting on their meal, little did they know that another male lion was making his way towards them. The male ran down to the Styx and chased them all away having a free meal for the evening.

This morning the Styx were found with not far away from where they made kill last night, with the Big male nowhere to be found. On our way back to the Lodge, we found some elephants feeding.

14 - 15 September

We had a slow start yesterday. It was very hot so most animals weren't very active. Saw a lot general game like Nyala, Zebra, Giraffe, Waterbuck. We got a call from the West that two young male lions were spotted resting close by to a waterhole.

This morning we had a beautiful sunrise with some elephants feeding around the vehicle. Went back to the west where the two young male Lions were spotted resting in the same area as last night. Werner, found Bahuti walking about searching for a meal. Once again we had a great sighting of Bahuti rolling around in the sand before he disappeared into the bush. Just North from the a small herd of elephants was feeding about.

12 & 13 September

Yesterday afternoon we started off with a great sighting with a very young elephant calf and his mother at one of the watering holes. We were entertained by him/her trying to drink water, not really knowing how to use its trunk yet. After a while with them we moved off to try our luck somewhere else. We came across the Tjalala pride lying at one of the other dams with the hippos watching close by. We stopped for sundowners, watching peacefully as the magnificent African disappeared turning into beautiful night skies. Once finished we went back to the lodge for a wonderful meal.

This morning was a slow morning with some elephants and general game around the lodge.

9 & 10 September

So yesterday afternoon started off well as we had the cheetah on the open area east of the lodge, just laying around digesting the impala they had the morning before. We left them in search of the elephant that had a drink of water earlier the afternoon, and we found them as they crossed over to the northern side of the open area. We stopped for some drinks and had a beautiful rise off a super moon. We drove around in search off some leopard, but with no luck.

This morning we had some tracks of the cheetah again but with no luck in finding them. We left the area and found some elephant again with a very big bull feeding not to far from the vehicle. We then bumped into a big herd off buffalo also feeding right next to the vehicle. After that we went in search off some leopard again but with no luck, maybe this afternoon luck will be on our side.
