Safari on the 7th.October.2012.


On this date we left the camp at 0630 hours and we arrived at Bilashaka we spotted to young male lions who they were on there own.These two boys whose their mum is called joy lost their brother through fighting to the four big male lions dominating marsh pride.They were exactly heading to where there brother was found dead.And near double crossing we found a solitary cheetah who she looked pregnant,she tried to hunt some impalas but she was seen and the whole harem fled.A big herd of elephants,some species of birds including Lilac breaste roller featured here,A herd of impalas feeding very close to a pond infested by water lillies and troop baboons not forgetting hundreds of thousands of wildbeests and zebras made our day.

This afternoon after we left the camp we arrived at main crossing poin in paradise plains to check if there was any wildbeest or zebra to cross,we found that there was a small herd of  both species but not very close to the river.But in there were several vultures who they were feeding on stucked wildbeests among the rocks and of great interest was a big crocodile who was feeding on a zebra very close to vultures who they did not seemed to be scared.
