These past two drives were nothing anyone expected! 
The
afternoon drive both myself and Bernard headed towards Annette’s camp and guess
what we found… a male Cheetah! Not only was it amazing to find the cheetah but
it had a fresh Nyala calf kill. When we arrived he was still resting after the
chase but it was not long before he got up and started his feast! We sat with
him for quite some time (this is the first cheetah I've seen in three
months!). 
Afterwards we headed west for
our sun-downers. After our celebration we herd news of honey badgers on triple
M, we made our way to the area but unfortunately just missed them as they had
scrambled away into the thick cover of the bush.
This morning we were happy to
enjoy any animal as we have seen more than expected. Our expectations were yet
to be exceeded!
Bernard headed back onto Annette’s and found wild dog tracks
heading west! He followed the tracks while I made my way to the area and just
as we arrived, Bernard found the pack of twelve dogs crossing south into Mala
Mala, we had a glimpse of the dogs before they disappeared and that was more
than we could ask for!
Super seven! After the excitement of the wild dogs we
encountered an enormous family herd of elephant very close by! We spent a long
time with the elephants even after coffee.
One calf, barely a month old, got
brave and tried to investigate our vehicle, one smell of the car and he was
out, did not seem like we smelled good. 
Bernard headed west and found the Styx,
they were highly mobile. Great morning drive!
