I do not know where to begin. I cannot, in eight years of guiding in some of the best known big game destinations in Africa, ever recall a more impressive month of game viewing. August 2008 will not soon be forgotten. Every day was a highlight and the animals simply performed like I have never seen before! Good rains fell onto well timed burnt areas and the flushing green grass attracted huge game numbers onto our areas. The charismatic big cats and other high profile predators were abundant in powerful interactions, the large breeding herds of elephants were memorable as always but most impressive and quite simply unforgettable were the abundant herds of plains game west of Sabora.
