Normally also the animals are always a bit skittish and when a car is coming closer they take a look and galloping away at least we could spot a group of kudus and a couple of impalas

and lots of European rollers once again searching for breakfast

and also a rufous-naped lark could be seen as well

and whilst travelling along we enjoyed more breathtaking bush views

and more sparrows searching for something yummy on the ground. We so far did not see these birds often when in the park although common but finally we could also get a picture of them.

More general game was not to be seen at least on this part of the road but another rufous-naped lark sang us a song

and the views were simply good for our soul.

Far too soon we reached the S100 as this road is also part of the Mananga trail until we can get officially off road again on the S41 shortly behind the Gudzani dam. So whilst turning into the S100 we had once again the road nearly all to ourselves as most of the cars meanwhile were elsewhere at this time of the day. We soon had to stop for a swaison francolin mom crossing with her two chicks the road not to forget to complain heavily about their disturbance.
