After all the cat action over the previous days we were searching for the big heavies, and we were more than successful. Sightings of elephant, rhino and buffalo were abundant throughout the morning, although we did manage to find 2 large male lions, which was a nice surprise. The cats made a comeback in the afternoon though; we found a female leopard walking close to the camp, followed by a male cheetah. He was on the move, and was quite difficult to keep up with, but we managed to get some good photographs of him as he went about his business – it is always a treat seeing a cheetah in this part of South Africa.

Major sightings of the day:

  • 4 sightings of rhino
  • 2 sightings of male buffalo
  • 4 sightings of elephant herds
  • 2 male lions
  • Male elephant
  • Female leopard
  • Male cheetah
