    The unexpected highlight

    November 9, 2023 in South Africa ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    The evening safari started with the viewing of our third „Big 5“-animal: the Elephant! Very impressive to see it so close. He was not far from the lodge. Not long after, we met another one along the road. He was not bothered about us at all…(see video).
    We passed by the Hyena den we found this morning and could finally meet the entire family! The mum very relaxed…the young ones rather curious.
    The weather was just perfect and a beautiful sunset scenery accompanied us. Sunset Drink in its best environment!
    The unexpected highlight happened on our way back in the dark, when someone found a leopard. We rushed to the site and followed the leopard. For us already a highlight- but then the Leopard led us to a pangolin a very rare animal and one of the most hunted one in the world. He tried to attack it but the Pangolin rolled and protected himself with his hard shell! This sighting was also a highlight for all our Tour Guides…the kept talking about it all evening 😃 You can hear the excitement from our Guide Jessica on the video!
