The week at Adonsonia Lodge

The highlight of this week was of course the visit we had from the Grietjie “megapride” of 15 lions.

That was the same day that the lovely Spotted Bush Snake came to visit.

There has been plenty of plains game around. Lots of warthogs and giraffe, and we are seeing more Kudu come by.

A dashing Kudu

We also had a couple of nice bird sightings. We got this pair of African Hawk Eagles on a game drive.

Not the best of pictures due to the distance and foliage, but a nice sighting nevertheless

And I spotted this juvenile Brown-Hooded Kingfisher in the garden, probably offspring of our resident pair.

Again, hidden in the foliage….

O, and we also had a brief glimpse of a Slender Mongoose darting across the lawn in pursuit of a Natal Francolin.

So plenty to enjoy at the lodge, both big and small.
