Monday 10-21 The Adventure Continues


Habari za jioni
(good evening)

Hope all is well with everyone

The morning game drive started at 6:15 am with slightly overcast skies. Within the first hour the skies were starting to clear with temps in the low 60's
The first of the many animals we encountered was a black rhino, we got a call over the radio, we are in constant touch with the other 4 vehicles so if someone finds something good we can all motor to that location to get some shots, about some lion cubs with there mother, as it turned out, one of the mother lions was relaxing in the morning sund on a huge rock. Not far away was another lion in a bush with 5 newborn, about 2 month old, cubs.
We waited around for the cubs to come out and play but they spent most of there time in the nearby bush. We were able to get a few shots in spite of their shyness.
The afternoon game drive looked as though it may be cut short due to a storm front approaching but we went out anyway to brave the weather to try for the perfect shot. As the clouds were building we were getting some amazing light form the sun through the clouds.
We saw a heard of Impala, no not the Chevy's with great light as the massive storm clouds built up in the background. We also caught a glimpse of 2 golden mained lions relaxing under a tree with amazing light on their faces. The afternoon drive was cut short by the thunderstorm that rolled in so we headed back to the Lodge.

Stay tuned for more
