We had a nice small braai and sat outside that evening . Unfortunately did not take any pics .Later the following day we read about a Predator warning in the area that night lol

The following morning we left early heading over to enter at Malelane for a drive then going to the shops to get some more supplies . The gate was not too busy when we go there and soon we were in .
Image

A stunning Kruger sunrise was our reward for the early start '
Image

It was too early for some who were still resting
Image

We found some Ground hornbills and only noticed the two sleeping Jackals when they started to react to them on the pan .
Image

Image

We headed up past Gardenia hide and found some puppies . :-)
Image

and a mongoose
Image

We carried on the S114 towards Biyamiti weir .

At Biyamti a duck

It was scenic as ever
Image

A little croc was bathing
Image

We carried on not seeing anything else .After stopping at Afsaal we did another loop around the S118.
A giraffe was eating lunch.
Image

Image

Image

A bit further along there was a flash of Black and White ahead and then we realised what it was grabbing the camera we shot a few pics through the windscreen before they disappeared into the grass .

We left to Malelane shops then back to Marloth to meet my Sister and brother in law.

Every time I have been around there the road to the Biyamiti Weir has been closed (0!)

Not one but two Honey badgers :shock: ^Q^ ^Q^

The old giraffe is not only eating, he is also being eaten lol
