In a more open area the typical Kruger antelopes could be seen as well and besides the wildebeests, zebras and waterbucks
we came across more giraffes on the other side of the road so it was overall a lot of animals around.
More zebras forced us to stop again for a short while,
however, that youngster in the high green grass needed a bit more attention from us
and so did another adult zebra who posed simply so nice.
So far we were in vain looking out for a martial eagle during that trip but luckily same sat this early morning on a branch of a dead tree so same could be ticked now as well.
We even detected a still very relaxed buffalo herd and
we meanwhile turned into the S58 – The Dzundzwini loop – also for us always a nice drive and a must whenever in the area and close to the turn off where you can drive even up the hill at an open area we noticed masses of elephants in nearly all sizes.
When small Streams turn into Rivers
Re: When small Streams turn into Rivers
Some were busy with a waterhole whilst
others already finished with their morning routine
and some youngers were in a playful mood.
A larger herd started already to disappear in the distance in the green vegetation
but also at that sighting we took our time and stayed with them.
After we had enough we finally carried on at stopped for another raptor
and another brown snake eagle must say that we so far never saw that many
of them during one trip as during this one.
Close to the turn off into the H13-2 we also detected a lone buffalo bull in his private pool
[/URL]
and also here we stood a bit longer as we simply do not wanted to leave the park
but after a very short visit to Punda Maria camp we finally left the park and luckily the drive back to Johannesburg was uneventful so we arrived there safe and sound.
The end – Finally!

We could watch and photograph zebras always for hours and luckily they do occur everywhere in the park
