Dan zie je het allemaal net wat beter.<br \/>\nOok nu weer eerst impala&#8217;s. Onze gids was op zoek naar de &#8220;katachtigen&#8221;. Die wilde iedereen graag zien. Bij een bruggetje was een luipaard gesignaleerd. Stil bleven we daar staan en opeens vloog hij vanonder de brug door de droge beekbedding de struiken in. Een flits en weg was hij. Maar we hadden hem gezien.<br \/>\nNiet lang daarna kwamen we bij een plekje waar twee luipaarden lagen. \u00c9\u00e9ntje vloog meteen weg, maar de ander bleef gewoon liggen. Zo nu en dan ging hij zitten, keek om zich heen, vond het wel veilig en ging weer liggen. Ongelooflijk, we konden hem bijna aanraken. Wat een prachtig dier. Grote zwarte vlekken en blokjes bij de hals.<br \/>\nToen we ook nog stil bleven staan bij twee leeuwen, die gewoon langs de kant van de weg lagen te slapen, was onze ochtend helemaal goed. Het was niet te geloven. Als we uit zouden stappen, zouden we er bijna bovenop staan. Het interesseerde hen niet. Soms ging er \u00e9\u00e9n oog open, keek even en sliep dan gewoon weer door.<br \/>\nOp de terugweg naar de Lodge zagen we bij een pool op de oever moeder en kind nijlpaard. Prachtig. Bij moeder op de rug zaten allemaal vogeltjes om de insecten bij moeder te verwijderen. De yellowbilled en redbilled oxpeckers. Even later verdwenen moeder en kind in het water en voegden zich bij hun soortgenoten. Op een grote kale tak zat een gier, precies als uit de strip van Olie B.Bommel.<br \/>\nWat een prachtig begin van de morgen.<br \/>\nTerug genoten van een prima ontbijt.<\/p>\n<p>Egyptische gans<br
