The Great Migration Safari 2013: Day 2

Cats and kills were the keywords of the day.  A cheetah chasing and catching a thomson’s gazelle started us off, and was quickly followed by a large male lion dragging his topi kill away from some vultures that looked a little too interested for his liking.  The single lioness with the 3 small cubs were working their way through a large zebra kill, while the mother with the 4 cubs played happily next to a warthog that didn’t make it.  Earlier on on the day, we found 6 sub-adult lions reuniting after being briefly separated, and in between all the cat action, many herds of elephants were seen along with numerous buffaloes.

  • Female cheetah chasing and catching a thomson’s gazelle

The Great Migration Safari 2013: Day 1

What a start!  We seemed to pick up right where we left off last year – the big 5 on the first afternoon.  The rarest of the five, the black rhino came out early in the afternoon, and the leopard (which completed the set) arrived out of the darkness on our way back to camp.  The afternoon was all about lions however, and a female with 4 small cubs kept our cameras clicking most of the afternoon.  Another lioness with 3 little cubs tucking into a fresh warthog kill also welcomed us back.

Major sightings of the day:

  • Elephants
  • Buffaloes
  • 1 lioness with 3 small cubs on a warthog kill
  • 1 lioness with 4 small cubs
  • Black rhino
  • Hyaenas being chased by zebra
  • 1 lioness
  • Leopard
