After our 5:30 am wake-up call and a quick cup of coffee, we were off at 6 am for our morning game drive. Soon Sam, our guide, received an update about a sighting of lions feasting on a zebra kill and we proceeded in that direction. Upon arriving, we saw a group of two adult males and several females and youngsters feasting on what remained of the zebra.
Some had already finished eating and one male moved away to go and drink at a nearby water hole, then returned to start grooming himself.
He seemed a bit irritated by our close attention, but soon decided to ignore us.
Leaving the lions to finish their breakfast, we returned to the lodge to enjoy our breakfast, after which we did some photo downloading and editing.
During the afternoon we spent some time in the hide, seeing elephants, kudu and a klipspringer visit the water hole.
After high tea, we set of on a game drive to look for the Painted Wolves, whose tracks had been spotted in the eastern part of the reserve that morning. This was a pretty long drive, during which we saw a few Black-backed jackal, a spotted hyena and many elephants, but, unfortunately no Wild Dogs.
During our afternoon drinks stop, we were mesmerised by a beautiful sunset.
Despite spending a long afternoon, not finding the Wild Dogs, it had been a very pleasant game drive. Back at the lodge, we had another excellent dinner, after which we tried to catch up on some sleep.

Sam is a Gem of a human, I did a course with him a while ago. He’s a proper guide!
