JUNE 2012 - Best of KRUGER plus BIG CATS Photo Safari

The first Best of Kruger plus Big Cats photo safari has just ended and here are some of the photos.

There were some great sightings, elephants swimming (quite cold at this time of year !!) Lions on a buffalo Kill near Satara Camp, Cheetahs near Lower Sabie and great birdlife.

Nkaya pan near Satara is still very full, quite unusual for this pan but it will be a great place to visit on upcoming tours. Other waterholes and pans have dried up already, but there is still plenty of water in the dams and rivers.

The Big Cat Reserve proved to be a great success once again, a new Caracal stole the show at sunset and the Lions cheetahs and Leopards all offered some great shots.

Enjoy !!

Kindest regards

Stu and the WILD4 Team
