This is a picture we took at Tanda Tula of a leopard.



So we are now at Makanyi and this post is from last night and this morning.

We were excited to hear there was a herd of around 700 Cape Buffalo on the property. Not seen a huge herd like that for many years. Between the TB in Buffalo and then the drought both these issues significantly reduced the numbers of Buffalo.

On the way we saw ground horn bills(large birds that are prevalent here at Makanyi) Some elephants with a baby elephant. Some warthogs with a baby all busy eating.

The sight of the buffalo was amazing. So fantastic to see a big herd. The sun made it hard to take pictures of the whole herd.




After viewing the buffalo we came across five male lions about three to four years old. Part of the Birmingham pride. They were of course sleeping.




The next morning we heard the five males had killed a buffalo. So that was the first order of the day to see that kill. When we got there the lions were still eating the kill. Will not post that picture a bit too graphic to post. Amazingly they had almost finished the whole carcass.

We also saw a rhino and baby but cannot post pictures of rhino.
On the way back to the lodge we saw about three giraffes.

For those who have been to Makanyi AMOS the chef is back. I love his food. This is a picture of a chocolate mousse cake we had for lunch.
