Africa Wild

Thanks Tina...it really was a great sighting.

We had stayed with the lions quite a long time so gave the Sweni road a miss and headed straight up the H1-3 back to camp. Our afternoon drive took us along the H7, up the S40 and S12 to Girivana and back to the H7. It was very quiet with just a zebra at Girivana and a couple of birds.



Southern White-crowned Shrike



Not sure what this LBJ is...any ideas?



We went back towards Satara and then took a short drive down the S100 before turning round and heading back to camp. So, a very quiet afternoon compared to the morning's action! While getting the braai ready my dad started chatting with our neighbour. His SO then came over too and we all had a long chat....turned out this was Mike Goss!! I then learned that he was on the SPF and that they were going to be in Skukuza the following night, so I invited them to join us at our AW gathering. Mike and SO retired early and we carried on with our normal evening routine.





The AWC came to visit again.



And a little while later a honey badger also popped by! We followed him as he went foraging on the verandahs that were quiet.

Nice quiet evening at Satara, with each doing his "thing"

IMO it's a Sabota lark.

Quiet afternoon, but you guys found enough in the morning

AWC and badger. We never found any badger at Satara

Should I wait with my TT until you are down south as I don’t want to ruin any surprises you may have for us in the Skukuza area

Hi Duke,
Thanks for popping in! A successful trip so far!

Yes, I love those quiet evenings in the park. I was also leaning towards Sabota.

Ja BC, we can't be too greedy! We've seen HB's at Satara on our last two trips there! You go ahead with your TT...maybe just don't mention which direction you pointed us in.

Will omit a section

quiet afternoon
and the AWC and Honey Badger
there is a lot to eat in the dustbins



Bushcraft, you have to stay a bit near Dustbins... each time I saw one... even two

You had all the luck again

Perhaps the HB and AWC prefer certain bins due to the content of excellent leftovers

I would go for Sabota Lark - but then ... I am more often wrong than right with Larks

and me... a Lark
