We were about to head out for our LAST evening drive at Phinda, and we heard 2 very loud thumps onto our little cabin. I have been trying to tell Garth every night that something has been jumping onto our roof and walking around but he didn't believe me! Now I have proof! It was these little monkeys - the same ones who stole our bread off the table at breakfast!
This momma was just chillin, and grooming herself...
But then she started to notice me coming out of the room and taking photos of her...
This was a yawn, but look at those teeth!
Then...she saw me! I'm telling you, being chased by a monkey is kind of terrifying!!
I didn't think I could close the screen door fast enough! She was trying to come at me through the screen! She was not impressed with me!
After a little excitement to start the afternoon off, we headed out! Dumi is on the left and Thulani is on the right...
First things first...we headed to where the lions were yesterday. We were hoping the male lions would have found them and been there getting a bite to eat, but it was still just the females there...
We even saw some more white rhino! They were in the field by the lions and were heading over to get a drink from the watering hole! They even brought their little baby!
He is so little you can barely see him through the tall grass!
How cool to see 2 of the Big 5 in one place?!
The Rhino could either smell or hear the lions so they headed out...
Just like we left them yesterday :)
I need to work on my growl face...
Big kitty going for a drink...
Oh hey!
Posing for the cameras...
Then she went to the wildebeest for some early dinner. It looks like she is growling, but she is just yawning. They are so tired, its pretty comical. They can barely move because they have eaten so much!
You have to be really quiet and not make any sudden movements, or we would have been a snack!
yum...
We left them alone to eat and headed out...we saw some baby baboons along the way!
There was a lot of chatter on the radio and we finally found out that one of the other trucks had found the LEOPARD!! Dumi was flying through the reserve trying to find where they were at! Along the way, we thought we spotted them, but it was another cheetah! She was scoping out a heard of wildebeest...
With her 2 furry babies!
And then....we FINALLY SAW A LEOPARD!!
What a way to end the trip on top!!!
