MADIKWE 2nd Day

Up and out by 6 am. Blankets were provided , thank goodness. We had a wild ride, tracking cheetahs thru the tall grass, but they were elusive, when spotted, but got away. The morning animals, black rhinos, so many zebras wildebeests and Impalas, a number of Jackals, elephants. We had a coffee break. Returned for breakfast at 10.

Evening was the usual suspects, with 3 of the big 5 at one watering hole (elephants, rhinos, giraffes). The female lions moved from the night before and were more visible. 3 females and 2 cubs a year old. Only 3 vehicles at a time are allowed for viewing so as not to intrude in their space. They seem obvious to us. Darkness upon us, Safari Guide spotted a poisonous puffer adder snake, an African Buffalo, finally and I don't know how he saw a 4" chameleon in a tree.
Then, back to the lodge for dinner.En savoir plus
