So sorry for the delay in the postings of our adventure but when I questioned the staff at the reserve lodge about the wifi problems…they basically looked at me and said, you are in the “bush”…what do you expect…I really had no comment back for that one…
The safari tours are going to be with Mark, who is the leader of this reserve park. The park is very small…only 5,000 acres. We found out in the morning this this reserve does not have lions…it has elephants, leopards, cheetahs, rhinos, hippos, African buffalo and a whole lot more but no lions. For that we will have to go to another park and are in the process of coordinating that. The reasons for no lions is that they need an average of 12,500 acres per lion to support them, and given this parks size…no can do.
Below are a whole lot of pics which include both of the tours we took today…8:00 am and 4:00 pm –
Some kudus walking the road…these right now are the hottest game animal to kill due to their features and horns.
Storks watching the hippos. Because they burn in the sun due to their skin, they stay underwater for most of the day. Hippos and crocodiles kill more people in SA than lions and all other cats put together –
Black wildebeest and their calfs –
Giraffes hanging out –
Masked weavers and their nests –
Vultures – we were hoping that they would land on a kill…no such luck.
Game lodge –
Warthogs right outside of our patio –
