Our luck has continued over the last couple of days with absolutely unbelievable sightings! The heat has been almost unbearable making the afternoons a little quieter, but all the early mornings have been paying off!
We have seen the ‘big 5′ many times over, a lot of plains game, beautiful birds and even the reptiles and insects have been keeping us busy!

The past week in Kruger really exceeded our expectations! Not only were our guests very lucky in their sightings, but the animals played along to show the agents who joined our educational safari a good time too!
Our agents started off with a night at Outlook Lodge and being in a quiet gated community in Benoni & right next to a golf course, it set the tone for a good safari, with around 10 different species of bird counted just during breakfast, including the stunning paradise flycatcher!

After a week off & another cooking while Jonathan was off, Kylie is excited to be back on the road! She says:
“The bush has not disappointed me, in fact its welcomed me back with open arms!
We have seen plenty of the usual plains game - zebra with foals, impala herds, wildebeest and lots of giraffe as well as having a lot of fun watching the antics that the vervet monkeys and baboons have been getting up to. The new babies are old enough now to join in with the trouble making but they still don’t quite have stable legs so its very entertaining!

All concerns about the quality of game viewing after the floods have been laid to rest firmly! Our drives have been as productive as ever with some brilliant sightings!
Willem was lucky enough to find a male leopard who was trapped in a tree by a herd of buffalo. He was just out of reach of the buffalo’s horns. The buff really tried to get at him, but to no avail. A brilliant sighting!
Further sightings include some cheetah, rhino, wild dog, elephant, more buffalo, lion, leopard, duiker, kudu, zebra, giraffe, impala, klipspringer and bushbuck.

Everything is slowly turning back to normal. The extent of structural damage both inside Kruger National Park and surrounding reserves will take a while to assess. Our operations are back to normal and we are happy to once more share the beauty of this iconic Park with our guests!
Read the latest SAN Parks press release.
Have a great weekend!
