Day 3 - Part 1/32.

As this was our last day we were up early and decided to do the Dithabeng Road.

Early morning giraffe.

Image

Next, a first ever for us. He/she was not very co-operative for a photograph. This was the best we could get.

Image

Seven minutes later we spot this lioness trying to hide and spy on some giraffe.

Image

She then started stalking them but the giraffe had spotted her. We waited and watched as the giraffe ran off away from us so after a while we lost sight of her so moved on.

Eight minutes later we came across her youngsters waiting patiently for her to return with breakfast.

Image

Image

A few minutes later Mom returned without breakfast.

Image

Mom then seemed to find something interesting in the tree but eventually gave up.

Image

One of the youngsters decided it was time to catch up on some sleep.

Image

We found some Red-billed Oxpecker scratching in the bark of a dead tree.

Image

Image

At Ratlhogo Dam another African Green-Pigeon.

Image

Part 2/3 to follow.
