4 Oct 2010: Pm safari in the Greater Kruger Park, Timbavati started out slow. Walked in to one Rhino bull close to old camp – very good sighting on foot. Not a lot of plains game, but did see 6 lions near Western Cutline. A serval on the night drive on the way home – a rare and exciting sighting of this nocturnal cat. (Dave)
07 Oct 2010: Overcast and slight drizzle. Not decent rain. Fairly quiet drive but with good sightings of giraffe, kudu and impala. No sign of elephant, but also no sign of them leaving the area on our cutline’s that border Kruger. Will track later today. PM drive – found full-grown giraffe kill with vultures and hyena on it. Great sightings of 15 plus hyena with two clans meeting and interacting. On the drive back saw 4 rhino at the dam, incl the very small calf. 3 civet sightings this evening as it got dark! (Mark)
