Game Drives and the Bush House waterhole

I didn't see the wild dog at the Bush Lodge but I did see a black rhino for the 1st time. We saw him on the way back to camp on the 1st game drive. We also saw a small pride of lions on the way back after the rhino. It was the pride with the limping male. He was beaten up pretty badly in a fight and they fixed his leg and kept him in a holding tank for a long time. They finally released him and he found his brother and the 2 females. He can't keep up with the pride and lags behind but if he gets into trouble he calls out to his brother and he goes back and defends him. I also saw a gemsbok for the 1st time along with a few new birds. One of them was a rare black form of the Gabar Goshawk. The game drives were pretty quiet. We found another pride of lions, 2 males, 2 females and come cubs. This pride moved into the territory of the limping males when there was a fire in Madikwe. We also found a herd of over 100 buffalo. There was a lot of action at the waterhole in front of the lodge. I think I saw more there than on the drives. Twice there were over 20 elephants at the waterhole!
