Once again it has been a busy week in the bush and as always it never disappoints!

Some interesting dynamics going on with the lions this week. We have had some sightings of two lions - a male and female and then mainly of the female lion on her own. Time will tell if they will regroup.

We watched as the young male and lioness stalked a dazzle of unsuspecting zebra. The young male eventually gave their presence away as he wandered off to a nearby herd of impala who then started alarm calling.

A few days later we found only the female lion where she cleverly decided to ignore a bypassing bachelor herd of buffalo but then securely landed herself a good warthog meal.

The leopards have been very busy this week and have given us some memorable moments for sure.

This week started with father and son time. After the injured Maxabeni finished off his warthog kill he was joined at a nearby watering hole by the White Dam male. Maxabeni gave him a few snarls and growls but no fighting took place and instead they just lay near one another.

Later in the week we found these two leopard again but in separate sightings.

The White Dam male was taking advantage of the shade at the entrance to the hide on the reserve, while Maxabeni was seen walking along some drainage lines.

After catching a Duiker one evening the Msuthlu leopardess was found having her last few bites before deciding to rest, giving guests a great opportunity for some photographs.

The large, dominant N’weti male has been seen a number of times this week, calling, marking territory and trying to hunt some warthog, which he narrowly missed.

The general sightings have been more than spectacular - here are a few highlights.

We give a warm welcome to the new members of the hyena clan! They don’t stay too far away from the den site, as they watch and learn from the older cubs.

Large elephant bulls took a few dust baths inbetween sessions of digging for roots.

A big breeding herd of elephants made their way very quickly to a nearby watering hole to quench their thirst after a very hot day.

We sat at a waterhole and watched as a journey of giraffe made their way for a drink and it seems a warthog had the same idea in mind.

Until next time...
