5 & 6 December


Our afternoon began on a high note as we found Thandi with her cubs on a Grey Duiker kill. The cubs were playing around as mom kept an eye on us. Saw two Buffalo bulls not far from where Thandi was. The two Styx females were still on the spot as they were yesterday morning trying to stalk some giraffe.
Went back to Thandi this morning and yet again what a pleasure it was watching the two cubs play around with mom feeding on the kill. Came across a small herd of elephants. Found Xivambalane resting up in a tree East from the lodge.
Kind Regards
