We have previously had some marvellous sightings, so let me say, straight off the bat, this trip was not so good for sightings. We had some really good experiences, however.
For example, we saw some wild dogs on the first day. But unlike the 2016 trip, where we had them in the road first thing, they were too far into the bush for a decent photograph.
On the S147, not far from where we watched a mom & baby leopard last time, there was an elephant carcass with hyena and vultures all over it (more about this later).
We had elephants chase lions three times.
We saw hyenas playing, interesting birds, tiny elephant, lions wreaking havoc with a herd of impala… all in all it was a good trip.
But it really bugs me how blasé we’ve become.
