With spring creeping up on us, the sightings in the Kruger Park is as good as ever!
Hielke says:
“This morning (Sat) started out really good, as we drove into the Park we saw a herd of buffalo and in the herd we saw a honey badger walking around! That was a nice surprise as one so seldom sees them!. Then followed herds of giraffe, elephants and a martial eagle. We also saw some rhinos and the kill of a leopard but unfortunately no leopard, this afternoon we were spoiled with a nice sighting of the endangered Ground Hornbill!

Great times in the Kruger National Park!
Hielke and his guests are having a fabulous time, with great weather & brilliant sightings!
He says:
Sunday was a good day for game viewing! We saw big herds of elephants and kudu. The highlight of the day was when we found a big herd of bufalo crossing the road and suddenly started stampeding. That’s when we noticed the 6 lions chasing them. It was spectacular to watch the lions working together and jumping on a bufalo. They moved off further into the bush so we could not see the end result!

Kylie’s safari is continuing to be good! She says:
“Even though there was a very chilly breeze, the sun came out this morning and like I had hoped, the animals followed! Starting out a little slow we saw some impala, fresh lion tracks but unfortunately couldn’t find them, a herd of 10 giraffe and a big breeding herd of buffalo.

Good morning!
With the cold weather reaching even the Kruger Park this time, Kylie’s safari was off to a slow start. As soon as it warmed up though, they saw lots! She says:
“We saw a coqui francolin, red crested korhaan, then a hyena that jumped up onto the back of the vehicle with her front legs and grabbed a dangling jacket! That caused quite a bit of excitement! After that they saw an elephant bull, 2 big kudu bulls, some baboons, vervet monkeys, an orange breasted bushshrike, a grey headed bushshrike, and some hippo out of the water.

Good morning!
It looks like “The Kylie Show” this week! Her current sightings:
“We had an another awesome drive this morning (Thu). Started off slow with us seeing some impala and bushbuck, and then all of a sudden within 100m of each other we saw 3 wild dogs running down the road, 3 lionesses and 1 big male lion just sunning themselves on a big rock! It was amazing to have two great predators so close together!
We also saw some hippo out of the water, nyala bull, crocodile, baboons, huge buffalo bulls, 5 kudu bulls together, and a duiker.
