Today was extraordinary for our last game drive. We followed a pride of 3 lions, 2 big males and a beautiful female.they are thought to have crossed over from Kruger Natl Park and thus are not habituated to the vehicles. They seemed quite concerned about our presence so we kept a good distance. A family of 3 rhinos stared the lions down during their walk and the lions moved on. A little later we came across a really big male leopard who was marking his territory so we followed him for awhile. Once he decided he had completed his morning chores he leaped up into a tree, settled down on a branch and took a nap. It was pretty cool to see this powerful animal get up that tree with no visible effort!
So now we pack and fly to jo'burg. So sorry to leave the bush. What a trip. Thanks to Ngaire and Ken who make things so easy!
Hoping for the same for group 3!
