Hi All,

Just back from my 2 weeks in the park.

Just a quick break down.

4 nights lower sabie(camping)
3 nights Satara(Camping)
2 Nights Balule(Hut 5)
2 Nights Tzende
2 Nights Shingwedzi
1 Night Tamboti.

I'm just going to post some pics with the area seen. I dont really do the whole typing thing.

All my pics are taken with my phone camera.

I'm looking for a sponsor/donor for a camera system =O: =O:

Day 1.

JHB to Lower Sabie via Numbi

Thinking this is a Gabar Goshwak

SO loves ellies, however i am always hesitant to hang around them to long.

Image

I must just say, sightings werent the greatest. The long grass and abundance of water made spotting rather difficult. The birds how ever, were amazing.

The grey sky made photographing birds with the phone a bit tricky.
