We started our safari without a great expectation of seeing much as it was windy and raining. But sometimes, as guides and trackers, we know where the animals may hide so we go to those areas in order to please our guests. We decided to go to an area where we know there is a hyena den and are often seen. Maybe we will get lucky, I thought.

After searching for a while, we were lucky enough to find a few hyenas in the road. Fortunately, the rain had stopped too so the sighting was even better than expected. As we carried on with our drive, we came across three lionesses on a zebra kill.

We were all happy as we saw things we never expected to see – another good day in Africa.
