Well, here we are back at nThambo for another fabulous 4 days! As always we had a warm welcome from Lily and the nThambo team – it was 35 degrees when we arrived so were thankful for a cool drink on arrival (well, Savanna and Castle to be precise). Game viewing has been fabulous, as always.
The bushveld is teeming with many herds of elephants – we’ve seen them playing, eating, drinking and cooling off in the midday heat. A first for us after 5 years visiting nThambo was an elephant drinking out of the swimming pool in the dark as we are all eating our dinner! There has been a herd of about 400 buffalo in the area, and we were lucky enough to see the whole herd cooling off and drinking in a large dam (so many buffalo that you couldn’t see the water).
