Kruger Day Four Morning

Day four and the first morning of Kruger. The decision was made to try and find the cheetah that we had seen the previous evening, but really didn’t get a good look at. Unfortunately in this regard, we were unsuccessful. However it was still a good morning as we started by seeing a few interesting birds, particularly the little greenbacked heron, then, on the way to find the cheetah, our spotter saw a lion. We went off road to get to her and found a pride of three females, four cubs (around three months old) and a male. Also, on the way back to the lodge we saw a sharpe’s grysbok which is indigenous to the area.

The one that got away from us this morning was the wild cat. This looks like a tabby cat with a bit more of a bushy tail. One ran across the front of our jeep, but it was gone before I could snap a shot of it. Today’s pictured animals are:

African Jacana
Hippopotamus
Greenbacked Heron
African Pied Wagtail
Lion (Big 5)
Whitebacked Vulture
Ground Hornbill
Chacma Baboon
Southern Yellowbilled Hornbill (a.k.a. the flying banana)
Steenbok
Warthog
Giraffe
Sharpe’s Grysbok
Waterbuck
