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!

Have a great weekend!

Kylie’s great sightings continues! she says: “Yesterday we had some great elephant sightings with a lot of them playing in little water puddles next to the road. The young ones are loving all the water around and it seems to give them a lot of energy as all of them are constantly play fighting.
