Our final Safari drive on our trip.
We saw lots of the same animals, the highlight was seeing a dazzle of zebras and actually hearing them communicate. We were shocked, we had never heard zebras calling out before, and certainly was not expecting the noise that came out of their mouths.
We also saw Impala, Guinea Fowl, slender mongoose, blue horn wax bill, hooded vultures, emerald spotten wood doves, buffalo, red bill oxpecker, dragonflies, cape glossy starling, greenback heron, wildebeast, brown snake eagle, red horn bill, bearded woodpecker, kudu, fork tail drongo, vervet monkeys pied kingfisher, battalier, African jacana, orange breasted bushshrike , whitebakc vultures, European bee eater, red breasted swallows, bush buck, nyala, little bee eater and duiker.
After lunch we said goodbye to our wonderful hosts at Exeter, and drove back to Johannesburg to stay with Mary and Peter.
We had the 12 kilometers to drive back to the Sabi Sands gates, and Nicole was nervous about driving in the "normal car", knowing those 4 lions were right at the gate with their buffalo.
Doors were locked, and windows were tightly wound up.
However we had nothing to worry about, less than 48 hours since the lions had killed the buffalo, they had eaten as much as they could from the buffalo carcass, and the next animals on the food chain were having a turn.
We had a brilliant evening a delicious Braai (Afrikaans for barbeque), and the kids were fascinated with Peter's incredible telescope which gave us brilliant detail of the moon
