Daily Synopsis

The lion-less run continued, but at least some cats showed themselves in the form of two leopard sightings.  Johannes found Shongile’s brother, but he was not in any mood to be viewed, and moved off quickly.  Marka went south, and was invited to go and see Thumbela on Kings, so he made his way to enjoy the green-eyed beauty!  Besides that, it just appeared as though there were some good elephant and general game sightings around.
