What a great week filled with so much action! Abundant general game sightings have been so wonderful, we started by seeing big herds of elephants, buffaloes, zebras and wildebeest. But the stars, without a doubt are the African wild dog puppies. Leopard and lion sightings have also been incredibly good... the birding has been so fantastic too... an awesome start to August.
