This morning's game drive was again exhilarating. The range of animals and the skills of the ranger and spotter at Dulini are the best we have had. The day begins with a juice and cuppa at 5.15 am, and then the 6 bleary-eyed guests climb aboard our jeep.
We returned to the same location as last evening, and found that the male leopard had taken the impala kill up the tree to protect his catch from scavengers.

The male leopard returned and passed within a few centimetres of where Judy sat in the vehicle - Judy slowly edged toward the centre of the vehicle!

We then sighted a pack of Hyena who appeared to be on a mission. They apparently have a sense of smell about 16 times as strong as humans. We followed them for a few kms but they hid in thick bush and we lost them.
Another coffee stop before continuing the search. Every day is different as we find new and interesting animals. This game park is a gold mine of viewing opportunities.
