In the afternoon Patrick spends some time with a herd of elephants by Gowrie Dam, busy drinking and getting a mud bath.

Join the Safari TV Team as they follow up on Mixo and Induna saga. Finding some hyaenas pre-dawn, Tara decides to follow them for a while but they quickly disappear in the vegetation. She spends some time with a crash of three rhinos before getting a radio call about one of the Majingilane lion being on the road. She gets a short glimpse at him, but what an incredible one! In the afternoon Patrick finds a lot of vultures and decides to investigate the area. After a bit of off roading he spots one of the Majingilane lion who has obviously just been feeding on another lion, probably one of the Styx pride! In this episode,The Safari Team explains you the situation between the Majingilane coalition and the Styx pride and why a lion can kill and feed on another lion.

Is there a better way to start a day than following a leopard to its kill up a tree? The Safari TV team brings you some great footage of the two resident male leopards, Mixo and Induna as they fight over an impala kill. Later in the morning, we join some lions (the Styx Pride) and we spend some time with them. In the afternoon, we follow up on the Styx and on Mixo and Induna, still up their tree with some hyaenas on the ground looking for scraps.

Another incredible day here in Djuma Game Reserve. What are the chances to see a pack of wild dogs and some rhinos in the same shot? Well, Patrick and Marc were very lucky in the morning…The afternoon drive was shorten due to the rain but WE still spent some time with the Gowrie gang and some guineafowls sand-bathing.

In the morning Tara spends some time with the Jowrie Gang busy sunbathing after a very cold night. In the afternoon Marc observes the feeding behavior of a giraffe family. A bit later on he finds two buffalos by a dam, one of them getting a mud bath to get rid of all the flies around him.

The Safari TV team follows up on Karula and her kill. We watch her climbing up and down the tree with agility and power. Marc spends some time with her in the morning while she feeds on the remaining of the carcass. In the afternoon Patrick comes across the elephant bull with a broken left tusk. As night falls he makes his way to Karula to see what she's up to.

What an exciting day! In the morning we spent some time with three elephant bulls. We felt so accepted, one of them even came to feed right next to our vehicle! We then had the pleasure to spend some time with Karula (Mixo and Induna's mum) on a fresh kill.She was a bit aggressive towards one vehicle but much more relaxed in the afternoon when Marc went back to the sighting.
