Hobatere Lodge is renowned for its fantastic big game sightings and this month has been no exception. Lions attacked and killed a zebra right in front of the main hide, stunning guests with a display of nature’s cruel magnificence, and providing some amazing photo opportunities. The elephant breeding herds are another constant source of wonder and the elephants are happy to oblige the guests by having mud baths in a pool right below the Hobatere swimming pool! For big cat lovers, the night drives have yielded some exciting sightings of lions and cheetahs and for the twitchers, a bird watching walk with Steve is definitely not to be missed, with a likely addition of seven or eight endemic Namibian specials to be added to your list.
