Kylie is in the park at the moment! She says:
We had a decent morning this morning being greeted by 2 huge white rhino bulls, a huge herd of elephants and 2 lovely breeding herds of nyala with beautiful males and a couple of last year’s babies with their moms. We also saw a few hippo, impala, kudu, buffalo, dwarf mongoose and a duiker.
The birding was also very good with the raptors starting to nest. We saw bataleurs, tawny eagles, brown snake eagles, yellow billed kites, fish eagles and some white backed and lappet faced vultures!

With Willem back in the saddle permanently, the sightings are rolling in!
His group has seen several huge breeding herd of elephant, huge herds of buffalo, several white rhino, 2 leopards, and lions in the road! They also had a hyena sniffing the game drive vehicle’s tyres and saw a black rhino too! With too many species of birds to even begin to mention, they are having a great safari!
Well done Willem & it is great to have you back!

Great feedback and 2 awesome pictures from the Charles Family!
“Last week we were on Safari in Kruger with you and had a wonderful time.
The staff and guides were fantastic and very knowledgeable. We also stayed in the Lodge in Jo’burg before and after the trip which was a welcome and friendly bolthole with a ‘top drawer’ breakfast.
Cheers
Simon & Julia Charles”

With all our guides in the Kruger Park at the moment, sightings have been spectacular!
Besides seeing all of the Big 5 on more than one occasion, with some really close encounters, they have also seen black rhino, ground hornbill, hyena sniffing at the vehicle and some really excellent bird sightings!
