Game sighting have been great during the last few days.
We are glad to see elephant herds moving back in large numbers. After all this is what Timbavati is famous for. One of the many sightings included a large bull that sat down on his hindquarters mud wallowing. It is unbelievable to see how manoeuvrable these giants can be.
The buffalo herds are found in large numbers. Several herds in the area numbering well over a 1000 in total. This old male seems to like the company of the resident herds.
Last but not least. The most sought after and special sighting of the week has to be the young lioness from the Machattan pride and her 3 new cubs. I was lucky to see them with a few of my guests during a early morning drive.
That‘s all for now folks.
Take care

Hi Patrick,
Very cool . . . what a treat to see the lion cubs at the riverbed no less! I still vividly remember the time we watched the Shobele cubs a couple years back . . . just incredible to witness . . . anytime.
