A couple of rhino near the S39 turn off.





We have always seen kori bustards along this road. Here are a few photos of them

Travelling from Olifants to Satara one morning in October 2011 we had a great sighting of 10 lions next to and in the road just after Ngotso North.

As promised!

One summer day in the pre-digital age Dwarf and I were sauntering down this road from Olifants, after having been evicted there...but that is another story...


Anyway, just before Ngotso-North, in blistering midday heat (Around 40 degrees), we were just trying to stay awake when one of those things one dreams about happened right in front of us...a kill!

The nice thing about kills is that one can remember them vividly...and sort of in slow motion, as the adrenaline pumps instantaneously! A very clever thing, adrenaline, I must say!

I think it was the last or second last kill I ever saw in Kruger...very nice! To be continued....

Great pics, nana and Flutts!

right a kill is sotmething we can forget
I always said I want not to see one... never

but the day I saw the Cheetah flying I forgot all... a mixt of scared, emotions... I think is that... the adrenaline
but I have a lot of difficulties to see the photos I have... no more adrenaline... just a huge compassion for the prey
