Day 75 Xakanaka Camp, Moremi Game Reserve

Morning game drive into Moremi Game Reserve. We had been warned that the density of game was less in the reserve than in the Khwei concession so we weren’t surprised that it was pretty quiet.  Denis, our guide was expert at tracking and he soon found cheetah tracks but we didn’t managed to spot one instead we saw two leopards!!  The first one was hunting baby tessebe but failed to get his dinner whereas the second was sitting in the branches of a tree – absolutely stunning!

After lunch we drove ourselves back into Moremi having first done some shopping in Khwei village for wood, water and beer.  We saw very little on the way to the campsite except another huge herd of elephants.  Amusingly though when we checked in, the staff were really excited as there were 3 male lions sleeping under the old ticket office!  A storm was brewing on the horizon so the rains are not too far off here too.
