The past week saw the area around Skukuza at its very best!
A leopard sat in the road about 1 km from the Skukuza gate in broad daylight! This was followed by sightings of cheetah, lion and wild dog!
The ellies & buffalo did not want to be no-shows, so they also pitched in to enthrall our guests even further!
The rhino were a bit sneaky, but Moss found our guests a rhino right on the road on the day they were leaving the park!

Our transfer drivers often have brilliant sightings!
Moss found these wild dog on the road to Phabeni
The next day, Joostie found them again, not far from there!
And Moss’s luck continues with this leopard showing off!
Francois added zebra & waterbuck to the shopping trip sightings!
Joostie also gave me some videos he took on his phone. You may need to convert them to a different format to view. You can download opensource converters at any-video-converter.com

A couple of years ago, we had to think carefully about where to establish our base camp in the Kruger National Park. Skukuza won hands-down for several reasons, the most convincing of which must include the density of animals, giving our guests the best possible opportunity to see as many different species as possible. The roads available for game viewing are numerous & cover a variety of habitat. Permanent rivers provide ample water, even in winter, drawing in more animals. Then of course there is the history of the area & various facilities offered by Skukuza. All around a winning recipe for brilliant safaris!

On the 24th March, Robert Wienand and I set off with Susan and Richard Yow on a 5 day birding safari.
We headed east towards Kruger National Park, starting out at Malelane, one of the southern gates. Before we entered the gate we stopped on the bridge crossing the Crocodile River and the amount of birds were great! We saw a Goliath Heron, Reed Cormorant, Wood Sand Piper, a Hamerkop as well as some hippos and a big crocodile eating a fish.
