Our Last Day at Londolozi

Today my mom and I had a fabulous time at the Londolozi game reserve. We had a wake up knock on our door at 5:30, and went on a game drive at 6. We saw three huge male lions that were sleeping for the most part, but did get up once or twice to change position. We also got a chance to see a baby giraffe, some warthog, several different antelope, and my favorite, the leopard! It was a female leopard that just killed an impala, and dragged it up a tree. At the time she was lying at the base of the tree, and taking a bit of a nap, to recuperate from her stalking endeavor. We went back to camp, had some breakfast, and then my mom and I went and saw the original village where the workers, and other individuals have lived for many decades. After that, we did a bit of a workout, and then had some lunch. After lunch, we went on another great drive, and saw the leopard again, but this time she was up the tree feasting on the impala she had killed. At the base of the tree there were several hyena that were trying to find scraps on the ground, and attempting to scale up the tree, but had no luck. On the way back from the game drive, we got to see a cervet, which is very rare to see. Our ranger told us that this is the second time he seen one of these since he has been at Londolozi, which has been 10 or so years, so that was really cool. We had an amazing dinner, and unfortunately this is the last night we will be here. Tomorrow we head to Cape Town, to start our wine tasting journey, and then eventually I get to dive with the great white sharks! I can’t wait! One week till Kilimanjaro!!
