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
