Journey to Mwamba

Usual starting time but have to finish packing as we move to Mwamba Lodge today via our normal morning!

We had highlighted to see Wild Dogs so Phil (Phillemon) set off seeing Elephants, Impala and not forgetting the Crocodile and Hippo sharing a nap, amongst others, on our way.

Just after 07:00 we received a call, on the Wild Dogs, and headed out to find them spread out in the shade, although the young were very much in the background. They do have the most remarkable markings and after checking us out they slowly wandered a little further away. At this point others cars started turning up so we left before they became harassed by us

On the way, to the Dogs, we had spotted Hyenas so we headed back towards them, it was a small group but there was a youngster among them, very ‘cute’ but no stroking, we were again checked out by one of them coming over to us, then wandering off again…

From there we had a coffee break before Phil thought we should hunt Leopard…and we did, alerted by alarm calls we headed in the direction of the cries and Impala stares and strolling along was the Leopard all the warnings were about. Absolutely beautiful, we spent a little time with him before heading off to Mwamba seeing, on our way, the Giraffe and her young we saw last weekRead more
