As we left camp yesterday afternoon we found Bahuti resting on top of a termite mound in the shade of a small bush. Spent some time with a herd of elephants feeding around our vehicle. Saw two old Buffalo bulls resting close to a water hole.
This morning we had long distance visual of two male cheetah walking South-East from the lodge. Found Bahuti walking South alongside a dry river before he disappeared into thick bush. Spent some time at a water hole watching a hippo with some Egyptian Goose and their ducklings swimming around him.

Our afternoon started off on an exiting note, as we had a big herd of elephant coming down to the Nkorho pan for a drink of water, with a second herd as well. They also wanted to be famous and posed for the africam. We then went west to go and have a look at a very beautiful male leopard called Tingana on a impala kill in a tree.






This morning started off slow as it was a bit on the cool side, we went west again to go and have a look at some hippo, got a call on the radio for a sighting of a female leopard called Kwatile and her cub, we went there and saw Kwatile but unfortunately not her cub.

Bahuti was found again resting in the afternoon sun on a termite mound. He moved off in search for something to eat. Just a few meters away from Bahuti, Inkanyeni was also lurking around in search of a meal. After the beautiful leopards we had elephants bypassing the vehicle as well as a massive herd of buffalo.


This morning started off extremely well, as the two Matimba males graced us with their presence, after a long week of minimal lion sightings. We also saw Thandi for a brief moment as she disappeared into the bush. We closed down with Bahuti resting on a termite mound.
