As we had new arriving guests coming to stay with us for four nights it was again interesting to realise how awesome their first day must have been.  Firstly during their transfer in our open vehicles from the airport into the reserve, they were lucky enough to be welcomed by a massive male leopard walking down the road. This of course made them very eager to get out there and maybe they somewhat expected the safari’s to get even better.

Luckily our game viewing, as usual didn’t disappoint, and soon after we left for our first safari we got news of another leopard sighting with a mother and her cub. Obviously our guests were overwhelmed with joy, as not even they expected to see three different leopards in their first couple of hours here.

After dark, as we were heading back to the lodge, we came across a Serval, which is also quite a well sought after sighting. 

Truly a first day they will never forget…
