With a full camp and an agent educational safari during the past week, all had a good time & the drives have been excellent!
We had this brilliant sighting of a frolicking baby white rhino who clearly did not read the book that says he is supposed to stay close to his mom all the time! He ran up & down the road, away from his mom, giving everyone a scare when he ended up on one side of the vehicle, with mom on the other. Getting between a rhino & her calf is never a good idea!

The sightings have been unbelievable lately with us missing almost nothing!
Once again have been spoilt with the ‘big 5′, some even seeing leopard several times! We have had 9 lions on a giraffe kill, a very lucky but grumpy male lion with 3 females and 2 males that walked 2 meters away from our vehicle and decided our shade was where they were going to lie down! We’ve also had some very entertaining elephant sightings with them coming right up to the vehicle and playing with the bull bar. One was so close to a guests on the backseat that he could of put his hand out and touched his head.
