Punda Maria – Shingwedzi

 

Our first lion sighting was not far from the Punda Maria camp gate. Three young males, desperately thin were resting close to the road.Hungry or sick??  We took a few photos but prefer not to post them.

We were only driving a short distance today to our next camp Shingwedzi.

We arrived at Shingwedzi and were a little concerned to see signs posted that there was no water in the camp. We were assured that all would be well soon. We had a snack at the cafe and then checked in.

We sat and watched the entire herd of buffalo cross. DP counted in excess of 800.
