| “Giant grey black thunder clouds gather in the distance, the wet smell of rain mingled with dust hangs in the air and you are on an open game drive vehicle - the sky lit up by a flash of lightening - at the same time hoping the six lionesses will/won’t catch the kudu cow they have been patiently stalking for the past 45 minutes…their team work is silent and effective, their concentration never wavering…time will tell who will be the victor – the rainstorm (getting wondrously wet), the lionesses or the kudu.” | ||
|
||
| From here, you depart to Ant’s Nest and Ant’s Hill Bush Homes - www.waterberg.net - which is situated in the Waterberg. The journey between Madikwe and the Waterberg can be done either by road or private air transfer. | ||
