We missed the game drives yesterday as we went to visit two new camps. Tanda Tula and Royal Portfolio's Waterside. Tanda Tula is still under construction there must have been 40 workers on the property. I think this lodge is going to be a winner that I will use in the future.

Of course since we were gone, two of the vehicles saw wild dogs. The dogs had found an impala leg and were busy feeding on that. They had good game drives.

This morning was quiet, we found tracks of a pride of lions with cubs but could not find them. The grass is high due to the unusual amount of rain that has occurred for this time of year.

Afternoon game drive was quiet at first as we were looking for the dogs. We saw about five rhino really upclose, two bull elephants that were stripping bark off branches, then continued on the search for the dogs. Finally we found ONE dog who ran right by us and disappeared. These Makanyi dogs are pesky.

The night ended with nine hyenas surrounding a single female lion. This lion appears to have been separated from her pride and is wandering around calling for the pride for two days now. We all wanted the hyenas to retreat and fortunately they did that and left the loness alone. Tomorrow we head to Mala Mala.
