What an afternoon game drive. We saw leopard tracks and then heard an alarm call that meant a predator was seen by the impala. Off into the bush we go. Some really thick off road driving. We caught a glimpse of the leopard but could not find her but we found a kill in the bush. We gave It another shot from a different angle but it was too thick.

We went off to find something else. Next exciting thing was going to a hyena den. We arrived to see two very tiny all black puppies, probably about 6 weeks old along with some about 4 -6 months old They were cute and playing. Then hyena started returning to the den. Suddenly there was squealing and lots of noise with hyenas chasing each other and fighting. The little ones retreated into the den along with the hyena that was being chased. More hyena came with all the welcoming each other behavior. Probably about 7 hyena plus the little ones. Then more fighting broke out. The hyenas were right next to our vehicle. The tracker put his feet up on the car not to get a leg caught in the fighting accidentally. The noises were amazing. Without a doubt the best hyena sighting we have ever had.

Driving back crossing the road right in front of us was a leopard. We followed him off road for a while. Then there were a lot of impala in the bush. One of the impala sounded the alarm call. The leopard was right there surrounded by impala. Again I thought yeah a kill. Again not to be the leopard did not take a kill and then disappeared into the bush. We left to return to camp. We did hear that they found the leopard again

During the drive we saw a lot of solid dog tracks. Tomorrow that is where we are headed. Right now the lions are roaring and we are about to go to sleep after a great dinner

LIFE IS GOOD.
