Moving off from camp we had our
game drive planned, but as this is wild life and they do as they wanted, our
plans were short lived! 
We found Mvula still mating with Shadow, we were alone
at the sight so had ample opportunity to take wonderful photos. After watching
these leopards mating rituals we moved off west, we wanted to have a look at
the hyena den, but a pleasant surprise awaited us on triple M north, wild dogs
were moving briskly over the road in an eastern direction, they only allowed us
to view them for a mere minute before the disappeared in the lush bush veld.
We
headed off to the hyena den where three youngsters were fooling around with
each other, trying to overpower one another with their power full jaws. We
spent the rest of the evening searching for the lions.
Once again we found the
cubs but due to the low light we left the area and headed back for camp. This
morning we had a focus and headed straight towards the last area were the lions
were seen. Finally we found them! They were at first moving around and lay down
in the bush we had a poor visual but sat patiently. Our patience paid off as
they got up and moved south on to the open road allowing us a perfect visual of
the cubs as they played around the adults.
We spent a good amount of time with
the Styx pride as we were searching a long time for them. a good morning it was
indeed. Persistence and patients is key!
