The White Lion pride successfully killed a Wildebeest in the southern section of Pumba which was feed on for three days, providing fantastic viewing of this threatened species. The White Lioness continues to observe the pride at a distance, with the odd occasion being seen with them, though for only a brief period. The Lioness though is being seen regularly providing day centre visitors with an exciting beginning to their experience, as they are greeted at our Day Centre Venue.
 
 
 
 
The herd of Elephant who after the past two weeks have been showing a low profile, are being observed more, with fantastic sightings of the new born Elephant calf. The calf is getting to know how its trunk works well, and is often seen running around mock charging the elder calves, and mimicking the adults.
 
 
 
White Storks abound our plains, as they prepare to migrate up our east coast. A Crowned Eagle was observed one morning on drive, killing a Helmeted Guineafowl which it proceeded to feed upon right away.
