Saturday 5 December 2015 - Ingwenya Lodge.

After a night of blissful sleep with the air conditioner running, we even had a lie-in for an extra hour this morning as we could only enter the Park at 5:30.

Croc Bridge was our entry point and we headed up my favourite roads in the Park - the S28/S137/S130 - they didn't disappoint!

A pair of Cheetahs! We've seen these guys on more than one previous visit. They were a bit distant but any Cheetah sighting is a good sighting in my book!

Further along at an undisclosed location....

Other Zebras were getting feisty.

A Hyaena came down to drink.
