Kwando Safaris has sent along their December updates. For part I of the updates, I'll be featuring Kwando Lebala Camp and Kwando Lagoon Camp. Part II will follow up shortly thereafter with Tau Pan Camp, Nxai Pan Camp, and Kwando Kwara Camp. Enjoy this month's update
Two Male Lions have already been sighted killing a Zebra close to halfway pan early this year and they are heard roaring every night from camp.

A large shower on New Years Day has encouraged more and more plains game to congregate close to Lebala and graze on the fresh grasses. Among them Red Lechwe, Tsesebe, Zebra, Wildebeest, Impala, Waterbuck and Reedbuck.
Elephant herds continue to visit the area threading their way in and out of the Mopane forests to the West
Lucky guests in the last few days have been treated to Wild Dogs hunting around the airstrip area of Lagoon Camp. Eventually they had success in chasing down a young Kudu bull which they killed in shallow water.
In addition, three brother Cheetahs have been seen already in the New Year lying up in some Kalahari Star Apple bushes.

Buffalo herds have been gradually moving north with the rain but the infamous males or ‘Dagga Boys’ are still to be seen on the borders. Giraffe, Zebra and Elephant are a coming sight throughout Lagoons range this early January
