Only a 2 and a half hour drive to our next game park. Again an intimate small lodge, yet a different atmosphere again. No tents this time, individual cottages instead. Again, we need to be escorted around at night because here there are absolutely no barriers between us and the animals. At the bottom of the lawns there is a river, with crocodiles an ever present danger though, touch wood, we haven't seen one yet!
Soon after our arrival we're off on our first game drive, and here the tracks are rough, rough and more rough! This is off road in a vengeance! Forever getting thrown around and having to duck and weave amongst thorny bushes and trees. Within minutes we get so close to a leopard it wasn't funny. He was so distracted eating we didn't bother him in the least.
A few buffalo, hippo, giraffe,
loads of birds, then it's time for another sundowner ... Love the this South African habit.
