4 of the BIG 5 on the Crocodile river from Marloth Park

Some of our guests from Germany had an incredible experience. We started with a drive along

the Crocodile River. We had the an awesome sighting of Big 4 all on the banks of the Crocodile River. 12 lions feeding on a buffalo they had killed during the night , 5 rhinos, hippo out the water and a huge herd of buffalos all in one sighting.

And a happy ending with having sun-downers and watching  a big herd of Ellies with their calves rolling and splashing  in the water after a hot day and watching an  awesome African sunset.
