So off we go for the afternoon game drive.

That entire Buffalo was consumed so quickly. The lions were done eating by the time we got to the area after lunch and were all laying down with bulging bellies. The hyenas and vultures were around but basically no carcass left at all. The hyenas had pieces of the carcass all over the place, we counted six hyenas. Vultures were carrying around bits and pieces as well. It was still quite a scene.

We saw a ton of elephants today with one group shielding a very tiny newborn from our view forming a circle of elephant butts. Never seen them hide a baby that much before.

A hippo was out of the water heading for a dam it was a race to see if we could get there before him - he won. All we saw once we got there was his eyes. What was a the dam was a very big crocodile. We drove very close to him and Ken got a picture.

The finale was a big male leopard. He had killed an impala at main camp right in front of the lodge. We finally found him in a thicket with the carcass in the tree above. Beautiful big leopard about seven years old.

Back for our final dinner at Rattrays everyone was sad to say goodbye. We know we have three of the Rangers for the next two groups, Fritz, Theo, and Jacque all really good.

So we will start a new thread for Cheetah two but ken will post some final pictures on this thread
