6-7 May


06 - 07 May

Afternoon.

- Went back to the Matimbas and Styx where they had made a Kudu kill. They were just lying around with full bellies with a couple of White-Backed Vultures perched in a dead tree.
- Heard of Elephants drinking water at Chitwa dam.
- Tingana with an Impala kill hoisted in a tree.
- Buffalo bulls resting and some feeding close by the main road.
                                                                                       

   
Morning

- Tingana was still around his kill.
- Saw a very rare bird of prey this morning. A Secretary Bird walking on a landing strip getting attacked by a few Crowned Lapwings.
- Elephants visiting us on our morning coffee break close to a waterhole with some Spotted Hyenas close by.
- After drive we had some breakfast and then our morning walk started at 10:30. Halfway into our walk, we approached a waterhole East from the lodge.Only then did we hear growls coming from behind the bushes to find Xivambalane and Inkanyeni busy mating. What a surprise and an amazing experience.
