It's day 8 of 11 of our South Africa Rare Mammals and Bird Tour and we arrived in Madikwe today to this scene.

Our lodge is truly special - Matla Game Lodge - an exclusive 14-bed sister lodge to the larger Tau Game Lodge. I have been fortunate to experience well over 200 across Africa, but this one is real quality!

There are so many pictures to post of great species and moments we have shared at our previous destinations, and these will come soon.

We were delighted to find a Caspian Plover pair today at the bullfrog pan 500m from New Holme Lodge at KhoiSan Karoo Conservancy, Northern Cape. These birds are estimated to have travelled around 14,000 kilometers south from around Kazakhstan in Asia.

We are currently on day 3 of 11 of a South African Rare Mammals and Birds tour I am leading for Wildlife Worldwide with 8 guests - 1 UK tour host, 6 UK guests and a Malaysian guest.
