The Classic South African Safari 2013: Day 2

We crossed paths with a male leopard immediately out the camp, which started off another great day!  A pride of 9 lions, which included 2 four month old cubs provided some great photographic opportunities, but the stars of the day were the many elephants that were out and about.  Around 10 good sightings of elephants kept us clicking all throughout the day.  A bateleur eagle drinking, several rhinos and some obliging general game also found their way into the viewfinder.

Major sightings of the day:

  • Pride of lions
  • Male leopard
  • Many herds of elephants
  • 6 Rhinos
  • 2 Male buffalos
  • Many bird species
  • Zebra
  • Hippo
