Daily Synopsis
Herold has been driving about on his own the last couple of
days, and sounds to have had some good quality sightings – clearly a case of
quality over quantity!
He had made the long trip south one evening to see the
Machaton Pride, stopping off to see Nthombi and her male cub that were now
feeding on their fourth kill this week in the same dense block of land west of
the Nhlaralumi! Giyani and the Java
guests actually got to witness the kill!
A breeding herd of buffalos was found just north of camp
yesterday morning, and there were a couple of wonderful elephant herds over the
last few days, but no doubt the highlight is the rapid habituation process that
our crash of 5 rhinos is going through – no more running away, and now they approach
the vehicles within 20-25m quite happily!
What a difference a month makes in the bush!
