The last blog for 2012

Good day to Madikwe hills blog family

The year has now seen its, last couple of hours ha ha… Wander just what you thought?

I am just ending the year off with some photos that I took yesterday and this morning.

To start off we were sitting and watching a lonely Baboon, were my eye saw an object, it was far. In front of us on the side of the road, I didn?t registered the first time what it was, so I looked again for the second time and she moved. It was a lioness and wait, four little bodies joined her on the roared. It was just so magnificent to see how she waits for them to cross and she than move. I was just too late to get a good side shot of them, but got a beautiful rear shot in.

They joined up with aunty and the cousins. It was so cute!

There was a kudu that the two girls poled down the night before.

This was just a pleasure to have a whole heard of ellies just for ourselves! It was somuch fun to see how they eat and the little ones play.

We arrived first thing this morning at the site where we left the lionesses last night. For our surprise, we did not see lions but about 8 spotted hyenas. Wow! It was my first time seeing so many of them together.


We got this old boy laying in the middle of the road. Old but still beautiful!

A happy New Year for all our Madikwe Hills blog family! We at Madikwe Hills hope that 2013 is a great and wonderful year for all. Hope that we will see you guys back at home here by us. Remember all the love and friendship from your family at Madikwe hills.
