Mr Special

Mr Special

Meet Mr Special, a regular visitor to the Kwara concession.  Our first encounter with Mr Special was the previous evening where he was found in one of his favourite hunting grounds near Splash camp.  He was hungry, stalked some impala at one point but they didn't come close enough for a kill.  

The following morning we were on our game drive when it came over on the radio that he had moved from his spot and the guides from Splash were tracking his spore.  As he was heading our way we helped out and it wasn't long before Dave & JD had picked up his tracks on a sandy road, some 12km from where we left him the previous evening.  It wasn't much long until we found Mr Special, wandering between scratching posts and termite mounds looking for a hearty breakfast.  We hung out with him for a bit waiting for the other guides to arrive before we continued with our drive.   

Later on in the morning we returned to spend a bit more time with him and watched him take down a Reedbuck. More of that later ....
