Staff at Kanana enjoyed a Saturday night with a difference last night. Just after the last guest had gone to bed, camp manager Falie and some overnighting pilots were quietly chatting by the fire. The late night peace was suddenly broken by the loud, startled trumpeting of an elephant, close to camp.
Sightings at Kanana have been exceptional of late, with predators featuring regularly on most of our trips. A pride of eight lions – three male, five female – have been making their way in and out of the area around Pom Pom, and crossing the river at the Pontoon where the water is extremely deep.
The past couple of months have seen excellent wildlife at Shinde, not only on game activities but also in the camp itself.
