We departed from Johannesburg on the 28th October with Asaf Kwaja and Linda Lee from the United States and Alexandra Cabral from Canada on their first safari in Africa. After arriving at the Kruger National Park and checking in to the camp of Pretoriuskop, we left on a game drive at 15h30. The afternoon drive saw sightings of Cheetah, elephant and buffalo close to the vehicle and within a radius of 10km’s from the camp. On leaving the camp the following morning the clients got a good sighting of leopard on a rock near the Shabeni Kopie area on the S7 road. The leopard was only a few meters from the vehicle. Further along the road we turned onto the S3 and about 5km’s down got the same cheetah as the day before, but this time it was walking in the road ahead of the vehicle. We continued down the S3 and turned onto the S1 encountering good sightings of elephant and general game. Alexandra Cabral left on his night safari at 17h00 as he was only on a one night safari due to being in South Africa on business. While on safari many different sightings of animals were enjoyed.
After a stop for breakfast, we left Skukuza and made our way onto Eloff Street ( H4-1) were only 3km’s down the clients got there first sightings of lion in the the Sabie river bed. The game drive carried on with sightings of elephant, buffalo, rhino as well as general game being encountered on a regular basis. The day was cold and rainy with the first big rains being experienced by all. Clients got back to camp in the mid afternoon wet and cold for a short break before climbing back onto the open vehicle for a night drive. Sightings on the night safari started with a good sighting of lion prior to it getting dark and was then followed up with sightings of elepbhant and buffalo.
On the final morning of safari we left camp at 06h00 and made our way to Shabeni kopies looking for lions, we got a large herd of buffalo on route with a size estimation of around 600 animals, shortly after that we got a good close sighting of elephant on the Shabeni loop before making our way to Manughu Kopie. Upon closer inspection we found a fvemale lion on top of the kopie sitting and checking out the scene, she was seen to be carrying large amounts of milk, so it is thought that she has cubs in the area of the Kopie.
The drive continued with other sightings of general game as well as elephant and buffalo being encountered.
Clients feedback was that they enjoyed themselves and would be returning for another visit, but just longer the next time. Alexandra is also going to return, but this time with his wife that could not accompany him on this trip.
