More sightings to keep you wishing you were there!
Kylie started a Classic Kruger Safari on Monday and even before they got in the gate they saw 2 huge elephant bulls playing in the river. Then within 10 min into the gate they had a nice leopard sighting!
On the afternoon drive they saw ellies playing in the river, giraffes, brown headed parrots, fish eagles and big kudu bulls!
Tuesday morning was started off by a mom hyena feeding her 2 babies, elephants, klipspringer, giraffe, wildebeest, monkeys and baboons!
Sounds like a good trip! Will keep you posted on more sightings by both groups!

Kylie’s Kurger & Sabi Sands Combo Safari continued with a great time at Nkorho! They started off with a quieter night drive, seeing impala, scrub hares, waterbuck and wildebeest but it was just the calm before the storm as it picked up tremendously on Friday morning!
After a nice wake up coffee they set out and where greeted immediately by George, the resident blue wildebeest. This was then followed by a mother and baby white rhino who were extremely curious of them and gave them a nice show, as well as a lot of zebra, some more wildebeest, giraffe, waterbuck and kudu!

Kylie & her guests are on a 5 day Kruger & Sabi Sands combo safari.
Kylie says: Hey there! Been having a great time since we arrived yesterday. All started with seeing 2 huge elephant herds and a buffalo herd of about 250 strong just on our way to the camp, then on drive yesterday afternoon we saw more huge elephant herds with tiny babies, a lot of kudu’s strutting their stuff, zebra, giraffe, impala and a beautiful lizard buzzard! Wednesday morning started out cold, but with a pack of 5 wild dogs cruising along the road for about 20 minutes, we quickly forgot about just how cold it was! We also saw more ellies, rhino, black-shouldered kite, dark chanting goshawk and some hippos with babies! Off to Sabi Sands on Thursday so let’s hope it just gets even better!
