19-20 Novembe

Yesterday the lodge was surrounded by many elephant bulls walking around sizing each other up to see who is the boss around. We left them to do their business as we drove of. Only found allot of general game and some Buffalo bulls resting.
This morning we found a small herd of elephants close to waterhole feeding with some of the youngsters trying to scare us but failed badly. We got a radio call that the Burminghum males brothers had killed a sub adult buffalo. What an amazing sight we had of them.

16 & 17 November

Xivambalane was still on his kill he had made yesterday morning sleeping under a thick bush trying to hide from the rain. As we drove off we found a big troop of baboons feeding around a waterhole. The rain was coming down pretty bad at one stage but luckily stopped for a while.
This morning we found Xivambalane still with his kill but only this time he was up in a tree with his kill. He came down and laid down under the tree grooming himself. Found a few Buffalo bulls close to a waterhole.

This morning we found Xivambalane with a new Impala kill he made probably early in the morning. Went to the western sector where the Burningham male lions were found resting. On our way back to the lodge we found a loan elephant bull feeding next to the main road.

Our afternoon started good with Quarentine male leopard in a tree with a kill he stole from Thandi yesterday morning. We went back to west to go see if the Breakaway pride of lions were active but they were still sleeping on the same spot where they had been found. Saw a small herd of buffalo moving east from Safari airstrip.
This morning started slow as we were driving around just to found some Impala and a lovely herd of Nyala. On our way to have a coffee break, we found Thandi with both her two cubs walking on a road. 
What a special treat and way to end of our morning safari.
