For Zebra 2 and Zebra 3.

One of the rangers here went to Madikwe on his break. Our last stop on the 9 night safari on both groups at Dithaba and Kopana. He said right now the elephants were great and there is a coallition of 4 male cheetahs. They are seen almost every day and are completely relaxed with the vehicle. Brown Hyenas were out and about a sighting you will never have in the area of the other two camps.

The bad news is there has been very little rain. The soil is dry so it is very dusty. I have been there before after a drought. Be prepared for a dusty safari but the positive is usually good game viewing as the animals are stressed for water and are more active at the waterholes and less rain means less grass and easier to find the game.
