• So many animals! – Diary extract

  On the way home we came across another herd of zebra and while watching them we heard some crashing through the bush. Soon, 4 rhinos appeared!

• A very successful day

  The afternoon led us back to Buffalo camp to see if we could find the poachers camp, with Joes detective skills and Rachels keen eye we uncovered the camp and bagged up all the rubbish left over.

• Cheetah encounters!

  We walked into the bush and she jumped from the grass and ran away, but soon slowed down and actually back tracked slightly.

• Bush school

  Today was quite adventurous…possibly more for Joe and Katie than for the volunteers as they happily taught us how to drive the game viewer up and down a steep hill through the Selati River. We all did amazingly well…even if there were a few stalls initially.

• Camp out day – Diary extract

  A secluded spot in Langa down to a beautiful section of the riverbed

• Elephants & Lions – Diary extract

  After supper the roar of lions drew us out again and we had wonderful sightings of two females walking down the road in front of us

• Nyala darting day – Diary extract

  It is then important for everyone to keep their eyes on the animal darted so its progress can be followed until the drug takes effect.

• A chilly but busy day – Diary extract

  We headed out for a night drive after dinner

• New cheetah arrival – Diary extract

  “The Cheetahs are nearly here.”

• Whopper elephant sighting – Diary extract

  Within half and hour we had a line of about 30 elephants walking just meters away from the game viewer
