With a new group in the lodge and all here on an incentive trip we had lots to look forward to. Most of the guests South African and most of them the first time to a private reserve. We hit the road looking to see if we could find little bush female and her cub that had been with their kill that morning however the leopards had gone and we had to change the game plan.
We found 2 separate mother rhinos with young babies, the one was no older than a week and, as can be expected, mom was not going to stick around and wait for us. We bumbled around looking at general game, birds and insects before we headed to where the lions were relaxing.
When we got there they were relaxed and waiting for cover of darkness to begin their hunt. However their sleep was rudely interrupted by a male rhino that decided to chase them around a bush before moving off.
This morning started with lion tracks, hyenas and jackals and this all led us to believe that the lionesses had made a kill very close to camp. After a bit of searching and following the hyena around we found them on the kill with the two cubs feeding away. This is great news as the cubs are looking seriously malnourished and we could see how hungry they were by the way the were getting stuck into the remains of the kill.
After the lions we enjoyed the wonders of the small world, buffalo and plenty general game before stopping for coffee and walking back to the lodge.
