Lovely photos, Roger ^Q^ ^Q^

On my last trip I saw hippos grazing at 13:00 and it was very hot and sunny 0-

The croc has bought a ticket for an "Adventure Trip" lol

If RPs ID is correct, then it is an giant armoured lizard that took my interest this time around ^Q^

And the sunset... I'm a sucker for African colours :-0

You never got to see the tail’s owner 0= It would have driven me crazy O/

Wow, a fantastic cheetah sighting and the only car ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^

Eish hard-core before and after pics of the buffalo =O:

Wild dogs sleeping can get boring rapidly, but it’s still another great sighting O/\

Hippo cruising around in daylight and what was that croc up to :-?

:yes: we did a sunset drive with a nice guide once who told us quite emphatically that Hippos stay in the water in daylight else they get sunburn .Since then every-time we see them out in daylight we think of the drive lol :twisted:

The next day was a late start after the long trip the day before .We got into the park and the heat was already climbing .
Our first sighting is a spot the wildlife quiz -O-

We found some Lazy lions in the shade

At Lower Sabie this Glossy Starling was pretending to be a Woodpecker or Hornbill

Image

This Croc was chilling in sunset dam .
Image

The Sunset Dam caretakers were watching the traffic coming and going

We turned back to head back down the H4 onto the S130 on our last drive through the park .
