James has found us a Butterfly
bush, it is a African Zebrawood there must be 10 different species of butterfly
on it and hundreds of the in total how beautiful, wow I wish I could see that
live, but then again I wish I could see all of this live.

Horrible camera glitch super

16:11) We quickly jump over to James' vehicle for a surprise. It's Karula and
her cubs; she is showing off her babies. They are nervous of the vehicle but
Karula encourages them that all is ok by stopping now and then and chuffing to
call them to follow her. They
run through the bush next to the vehicle, and then into the road a ways in front
of vehicle, we watch them walk, dash, and zigzag back and forth across the road
in front of James and the vehicle.
@16:18pm Karula turns and heads
into little Gowrie property James helps the other guides into the sighting and
to find them

Back to

to James.
James,
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
16:57With
a massive and fat warthog male but we don’t get a great view he is too worried
about his size on camera I guess, he runs off almost immediately with his tail
flag in the air.
Impala
rams in the road
An
Impala ram with his harem of ladies he chases them a bit
@17:12pm Zebras
Elephant
herd drinking at Sydney's dam a huge bull approaches the herd
The
elephant herd crosses the road between James and the Sabi Sands gate, the bull
turns and heads back to the water before crossing the road.
17:26
pm James arrives at a smaller termite mound that is home to the hyena clan at
the moment.
First
we see Madam with one of the J-twins suckling and then Pretty with November suckling
back farther behind madam and through the bush and behind a tree we can see
some posts and we can almost see Corky and her December twins to the right of
the screen behind a bush/tree but we can only see a bit of them. It appears it
is dinner time for cubs.
One cub
(Jan J-twin #1 female) sticks its head of the den for a peek then back in to go
back to sleep, nope peek again. Looks like she is playing whack-a-mole but she
is defiantly very nervous I wonder what has her so scared, since we know that
the cubs don’t normally mind the vehicle, sometimes I think they actually enjoy
our visits.
Jan,
the cub playing peek-a-boo, is squealing as she comes out to join the suckling.
D2 (December
twin #2 male) comes from nowhere to say hi to madams twins and right as James
says how tolerant Madam is with the other cubs she snaps at him, and he has to
back off and wanders around for a while eventually moving out of sight probably
back to mom Corky behind the bush.
Then D1
(December twin #1 female with the white spot on her back left toe) Comes up to
madam to see her cubs and also gets snapped at a bit.
James
says the 4 Birmingham boys that are left in the coalition have eaten or are
eating the one that died Scrapper. I had not heard that before but I haven’t
been able to watch nonstop last couple weeks, much less hear all the detailed
updates on Scrapper's death.
Then
after some interesting comments and conversation Corky comes out from behind
the bush to sniff at Madam and her suckling cubs then walks over and sniffs the
hole to the den, maybe she just wanted her five minutes of fame for the day.
It is
getting dark so James will be leaving the den so we go to check in with Sam.
Sam
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Sam is back after a large tech
issue where the camera had quite for whatever reasons and they had to return to
camp to get it fixed. He is with a few bachelor buffalo "Duggar boys".
Sam then has to go retrieve
Bryans pillow he uses for his bum that fell off the vehicle earlier, and
"The Thumb" makes an appearance as a balloon today.
James,
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
James
threatens Sam's wooden elephant with a lighter because Sam called him Sméagol
We see
a spotted eagle owl flying off I rewound and saw it sitting on the post before
it flew off, we also get a slow-mo from FC
Sam, ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Flat necked
chameleon hanging on to a branch for dear life with the wind blowing
Sam
says his goodnights from Bryan and himself.
James,
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
FC
shows us a slow-mo of the civet James and Wium saw when not live it was a very
short view but a view none the less.
James
says Thank you to the crew of the safari live and WildEarth, and Good night
from Wium and himself.
End of Drive
