Today we left Mala Mala. We had a terrific stay with great rangers. Three of the four rangers will be with us for the next group. I am in a rush so I am going to make this quick.
Sightings that we had during our stay that were great between all the vehicles:
Lots of leopard sightings, males, female with two big cubs.
Elephants galore including a teenager that gave a great display shaking his head and carrying on, plus lots of baby elephants.
We had trouble finding the lions but we were successful in the end.
Giraffe necking – Ken posted pictures it was incredible to watch as they were hitting each other and how far down their necks went. You need to study those pictures to see what is actually happening.
Rhino everywhere including small babies. PLUS a courting display I had never seen where they female and male face each other and stomp feet, shake their heads, and make a lot of noise.
A curious little rhino that came right up to the vehicle and mom followed. Just feet away it was really amazing. They were very calm.
Paul is a birder and he saw 70 new varieties of birds.
Lots of off road driving and knocking down trees.
The only animal we did not see but wanted to see was a hyena.
Overall a fantastic three days. Only problem is that it is HOT. Very odd for this time of year. I hope it cools down.
We are now at Singita with our first game drive coming up very soon.
