Annekarien's Big 6
Finest sightings
First we see the birth a springbok, a new life. Then our friend Toff sees a cheetah approaching the sighting. Full of excitement we witnessed the attack of the cheetah and the will to survive of the baby springbok. There he goes! What a great speed! I hoped the springbok would survive and it did! We missed a kill, but the sighting was thrilling.
After a tremendous day full of game driving we headed back to Skukuza Camp in Kruger. We were almost there when we saw something on the road in front of us. But what? When we had a closer look we saw five lions approaching us. They were amazing! Truly kings and queens of the bush. They were so close that I could touch them. This was a fabulous experience.
Driving between Skukuza and Lower Sabie René sees something crossing the road far away. I thought it was a baboon, but Rene was pretty sure it was something else. We drove a bit fast and we were just in time to see a leopard climbing up a tree with a dead impala. We were in a few meters from the leopard and could see it all. We've spent almost an hour with the leopard. Great sighting!
We decided to book an organized game drive from Satara Camp in Kruger. On the S100 we found a big pride of lions with so many cubs. It was so cute! We didn't no where to look. The lions were everywhere and especially the cubs were so adorable! I really wanted to take one home. We've spent about an hour with the pride of 24 lions before the disappeared in the bushes.
