A three day update

On the afternoon of the 16th of July, the Sable bridge cubs were found on Catwalk west, and presented us with incredible photographic moments. The Thanda impi male Lions were relocated on Vulture pan road. Alistair relocated the one Avoca male Lion on Civet road. The rest of the afternoon produced some great general game sightings as well.

The morning of the 17th, the Nharhu pride was found on Piva path with a sub-adult Buffalo kill. The Sable bridge Leopard cubs were relocated on Catwalk west. The Hyena den in the south also had some action, with some of the pups out and about.

The afternoon of the 17th, we relocated on the Sable bridge Leopard cubs. The rest of the afternoon was fairly quiet.

On the morning of the 18th, we spent the majority of the morning following tracks for the Mbiri pride. While we were tracking, the Rhulani male Leopard was found on marula ridge. One of the Avoca male Lions was then found with a Buffalo calf kill, north of Vincents pan. The Mbiri pride was then found with another Buffalo kill, just to the west of the male.

Yesterday afternoon, we started off with an Elephant herd at the lodge. A large Buffalo herd was found at New Pump. The three young Mbiri male Lions were found at Skybeds dam. The Mbiri pride and Avoca male Lion were relocated north of vincents pan. The young Ntuntsu male Leopard was found at Twin pans in the north. After dark. Dave found the other Avoca male Lion, chasing the Mohlawareng pride at khoka Moya dam.

This morning, It started off a bit quiet. At about 7 o clock, the Mbiri pride were found. They were following a Buffalo herd. After about half an hour, the three young females killed a sub-adult.
