The afternoon was filled with high expectations as most of
my guests were new arrivals. We started the afternoon in search of any animals
close to camp and worked our way out, we eventually got to the west, not long
and we had our first sighting. The three Styx cubs and two females were resting
in a drainage line in the shade on the cool sand, the three cubs even it here
lazy state were cute as always. We left the lions and headed north to have our
thirst quenching sun downers.
Short there after we responded to a sighting of
witch I was eager to get to. Tingana, (my favourite leopard of the northern
Sabi Sands) was seen at a kill but in the thick bushes. When we found him he
had left the kill in search of a good resting spot to clean himself before
taking a nap! This morning we did not go far, we found a herd of elephant
crossing east into Kruger national park just east of the camp, we watched the
sun rise at chitwa dam where a Malachite king fisher was fishing for breakfast.
South of the dam on our way for a coffee stop we came across another herd of
elephant peacefully feeding, we later realised the size of the herd as we were
surrounded by them. 
Not even taking a second look at us they moved along,
feeding as they went. But two teenage bulls decided to stay behind and keep us
entertained! As the playfully nudged each other, and included us in their dust
baths! Sean went west and found the Breakaways far south in the londolozi
concession and some elephant on the cut line.
Got to love the bush!
