Today has been just spectacular! We saw Mama leopard with her 10 month old cub snacking on an impala. Then we saw a herd of elephants including some little ones but most especially a tiny baby, our ranger speculated was only a few weeks old. She was still wobbly on her feet. After a rest stop of coffees and Amarula with dried apricot biscotti we passed by some giraffe and a number of warthogs. The warthogs had babies too. It is really encouraging to see how successful the preserves in South Africa are with their wild life population.
After a huge breakfast some of us opted to go on the hippo walk which turned out to be another magnificent game drive as we came around a curve in the road and found a pride of 5 lions! Eventually we did get to the hippos just in time to see them all waddle on into the water. Can't imagine how it can get any better then this!
