Having just passed the Summer Solstice in the southern hemisphere, the days are only going to get shorter as we begin our journey towards the end of summer to welcome winter. This week’s weather has given us a taste of everything, the warmth, the wind, the coolness, and a bit of rain. All of which has caused the animals to present themselves in many different stunning sightings.
With the rain around and the moisture in the air the clouds have made for spectacular sunsets or helped in casting amazing light on to many subjects. The rain upstream has caused the Sand River levels to begin to rise. The dung beetles are hard at work and the bird life is teeming.
The Xinkhova Female has spent the last few days near the airstrip, the Three Rivers Female is seen quite far south in the reserve and the Ximungwe Female stalks a herd of impala.
On the Lion front, the Ndzhenga Males are hanging around and spending a fair amount fo time with the Ntsevu Females, of which at least two are believed to have given birth again. Hopefully, we can find these dens too.
A stunning young female with a very similar spot pattern to her mother, the Nkoveni Female. Litter still completely intact March 2022.
