Better Porcupine Sightings Early Winter

Since the previous week, I have had amazing sightings of Aardvark and Porcupine almost everyday!  Two days ago I had some local guests (South Africans) who have been to many of the best and well known Game Reserves around the country.  One of the guests said they had never seen an aardvark before, except one that was hit by a car on the road when they were in Mafikeng! Of all the three nights that they were staying at River Bend, they saw three aardvarks and between 6-8 porcupines each day.  As their first sighting of these norturnal animals, it gave them an idea of what the bush is all about.  We had a fantastic 3 days full of elephants & giraffe sightings in our Private reserve and some close encounters with white Rhino.  Besides all we had fantastic weather and beautiful sun sets with gin and tonics.
