Day two of my safari here at nThambo Tree Camp in the Klaserie
Game Reserve was simply stunning. The combination of wonderful companions from
South Africa, Germany, and England makes for a wonderful international
experience that I wish everyone had a chance to experience. In addition, our
hosts, guide and tracker have been nothing short of world class in making this
visit feel like being at a second home – great kudos to Lily, Luan, and Issack!
Our two game drives of the day yielded a plethora of the “Big
Five” (the five most dangerous animals to hunt on foot in South Africa – Rhino-Leopard-Lion-Cape
Buffalo-and Elephant). Today we saw four of the five with only the leopard
proving elusive. In addition to the thrill of seeing all the big name animals,
Issack amazed all of us by seeing and alerting us to a bushbaby in the total
darkness. I was thrilled to be able to capture images of it to share with you –
usually they are far too skittish, but this fella cooperated for just long enough
before hoping off into the African night. Enjoy the images and keep your eyes
peeled here for more coming tomorrow!
