Woken at 4am to the sound of smashing plates and glasses – turned out it was a honey badger, clearly desperate for a drink. The night camera we placed out actually caught the naughty culprit and also a leopard less than 5m from our room. Fuel arrived so we felt happier with a fuller tank of diesel.
On our morning drive we saw two young cheetahs followed by two “Tree Climbing” lionesses lying in the branch of a tree. We then drove to Salima Swamp where there were massive herds of wildebeast and zebras plus hundreds of elephant. After lunch, I ended up driving on the road less travelled – we soon realised why as it had been washed away in places so my 4x4 skills were severely tested. Eventually Ian had to come to the rescue when I finally got stuck in a ravine and get us back on track- with landrover intact.
Amazing pic of the cheetahs!
