Ranger’s Report for July 2015

By Dean Robinson on August 1, 2015

Welcome back for another months update from the dry Timbavati. With the cool mornings and evening the game viewing has been unbelievable. This month once again we will be doing a photographic report with photos from many of the highlights of the month.

Some sad news is that the hyena den has disappeared. One morning we had lion tracks moving straight past the den, we are unsure if the lions killed the hyena cub, but since that day no hyenas were seen at the termite mound den site.
