Cheetah sighting-There are two cheetahs in this picture, just chilling in the shade and not worried about us at all. We got lucky to see them.
The success of every safari ride depends on your safari driver. Jabuloni was a good one! He said we got very lucky today seeing 8 white rhino, 2 cheetahs and the huge herd of elephants. We enjoyed going to “safari school”. The bushveld (the bush) is very diverse, teeming with many varieties of animals, birds, trees and plants. So mesmerizing trying to retain it all! Good thing there are many national parks and preserves in South Africa to get an occasional refresher course to remember!
Happy hippo
We also took a boat ride on the Lake St Lucia estuary to see the hippos
Cape buffalo
Kudu
Water buck easily identified by their “wet paint on a toilet seat” markings
Our safari guide, Jabuloni (means Happiness in Zulu) did indeed make us very happy!!
Time for a quick soccer match in the bush
