It’s when weeks like the past week happens here at Amakhosi that one can’t help but think this must be one of the most amazing places on earth! The bush has dried out and the Tamboti trees have adorned the bushveld with crimson hues. Winter has settled in and our sightings have been amazing!One morning this past week we headed out looking for the buffalo herd when a call came through the crackling radio… its lion… the northern pride… in the Goedvertroud area. Our ranger swung around in his seat and said “they are on the opposite side of the reserve, are you keen?” Without hesitation all agreed on it and off we went to the other side of the reserve! Much to our surprise as we arrived at the location, we found not just the northern pride, but the northern pride on a kill! It was worth the trek to get there!
Thinking that this was it, what an amazing morning; we head back to the lodge for a sumptuous breakfast and a hot cup of coffee. Being nearly there, on the access road, yet another thrilling surprise…
The coalition of four male cheetahs, on a Nyala kill! Two kills in one drive, this is a very high bar to set, but we so enjoy to dip into our lucky packet (the bush) here at Amakhosi!
Its game drives like these from which campfire stories are born! We sat and watched as they devoured the Nyala in no time. What a spectacular treat to be spoilt like this!
The start of winter here at Amakhosi has definitely given us a taste of what lies ahead for the next few months and we can’t wait to share it with you!
