Great pair of horns on the kudu

Definitely Lis, and when you stop for birds you often find other interesting things.

Your number plate is malfunctioning!

Ja, rutting time for many species in April.

It's a magical number plate that turns fuzzy when you take a photo of it!

magnificent horns on that waterbuck .....



they are always "interested" in the ladies and this behaviour occurs all year round.

great to have these new lifers !!!!!!

I didn't know that about waterbuck! New lifers are always exciting.

On top of the animals quite an entertaining episode. Had to giggle about the SO getting into the mood of things,
the image of you tagging along behind your own car and also the impaffes

What's that green and pink stuff in front of the girls? Ice-cream?

Glad you enjoyed it Mel. The green and pink stuff is milkshakes.

After our day in Kruger we had a delicious braai and relaxed around the fire.



The next morning we cooked a huge breakfast and then the boys decided to have a stone throwing competition.



That didn't last long and we were off on another game drive. We had heard lions and hyena during the night but sadly didn't see them. There were plenty of jackal around but I only managed this bad pic!



Another bad pic, this time of a Martial Eagle.



Some giraffes taking it easy.



The little one looking for game.



There was much excitement when we came across some ellies as Anita and Tony hadn't seen any in the reserve for a while.





Hungry zebbie.



We then popped in to visit some of their friends who live in Grietjie permanently...another lovely house with a stunning view.



They have a waterhole in front of their house but nothing came to drink while we were there.

Flutts!

A very interesting Martial pic.

Hyperactive bunch over there!

The giraffe on the left has a strange pattern

Are there no fences? If yes it would be difficult to see giraffes and elephants roaming

This place looks much better than Marloth

that wine is way too close to that fire pit...........

Hyperactive? Just the normal amount of activity.

You're right, that giraffe does look different! There are no fences between properties or reserves so the animals are free to roam. ;) It's a lot less populated than Marloth and much quieter.

I wondered why my ice kept melting!

Permanently living in Grietjie… I heard of that before. Lucky fish, your friends are

Your SO spoilt the feet pix around the fire

Grietjie is the best Have had lions serenading us in the back garden for the last three nights (mating couple), most plains game come by every day and a couple of weeks ago saw a leopard from the stoep!
