Thanks for all the replies guys! My grandpa was just here and of course we spent the day talking about our next trip to Kruger which will be in August next year!!
All this Kruger talking got me excited which pushed me towards the forum!
More pics......
Ellies and buffs in the Sabie river
These two were having a go at each other!
The LIT on the H10
Our pathetic excuse of a lion, but better than nothing!
These ellies were having a ball at Sunset Dam
The famous goshawk
Some type of eagle or kite (to lazy to ask my mom! )
Another fish eagle in the last rays of the sun
A beautiful sunset
And lastly, a hyena at the LS fence
Will be back with more tomorrow!

Re: Kruger Diary 2012
It's so funny and entertaining watching them play in the mud and out of all the times we have been to Kruger (besides this trip) we have never seen ellies really having a ball in the mud and in this trip we had 3 sightings of them in the mud!!
