Kruger - RP and Family up North....In Reverse!!!

[Lisbeth]

I am not falling for your tree

I prefer the first zebbie sunset

Did you keep the poor animal there the whole day

Also UF says "relax" :roll: Must be a genetic thing

[Richprins]

Lis, you don't have to lay an egg about everything!

-O

(I wonder what it would be like to be married to you...hmmm...I feel an interlude coming on...anyway!)





Day 3 Part 6:



A soupsance of images from a blissful afternoon crawl heading east along the Pafuri road....

First a pious warthog:














PW: "Why is the warthog pious?"

RP: "Can't you see, it's saying grace before eating! Heeh heeh!"

PW: "Don't be flippant! You'll meet up with some misfortune!"

RP: "Yeah, right! Give me a beer!"

















RP: "You know, we are really privileged!"

PW: "Why, because we are here in paradise, with lovely trees and animals, and the family is here, and we're on holiday...?"

RP: "No...been there, done that. We're privileged because in Kruger one rarely gets to travel east in the late evening, so as to get good light for photos!"


















Then this lovely nyala bull, to prove the point!















RP: "Did you know...the dividing line when referring to the male and female of an antelope species occurs at the nyala...the male is a bull, and the female a ewe!"

PW: "What's your point? This is a wildebeest! :roll:"






So herewith the wildebeest cow:O/















A very nice pic, IMO! (Although Lisbeth will say it's too close or something... -O )























Then we noticed the bull had some major nose problem...(actually I only noticed it now, but anyway!)




















What do viewers think the cause is?






PW: "Excuse me, but this is not an interactive trip report!"

RP: "But I'm just asking a question?"

PW: "No! You can't make it in reverse and interactive!"

RP: "But..."

PW: "No!"

RP: "I..."

PW: "I said No!"








So viewers will have to whisper their answers, or face possible legal action... :oops:









Then this massive, err, butchbuck cow, to spare the interruption by my brother's diagnosis:


















This boy was really huge, but wouldn't turn around at all!





















Then the funniest thing!






As we rounded a corner. the road was ABSOLUTELY jam-packed with animals of every size and description...sort of like some cheesy Safari advert pic! Kudu, nyala, baboon, impala, monkeys, guineafowl etc.!

But by the time I had picked up my camera...

















PW: "Wow! Did you get that!"

RP: "Err, maybe!"

PW: WOW!"







Tomorrow: Heavy reptile sex!

[nan]

superb close up of the Wildebeest female -O
I love the Baobab... with the nest
what does the signal in the grass... no autocar or something like that
Ho ! poor Kudu... poor nose :?
magnificent pair of horns... it's really a Kudu or I'm wrong -O

[Richprins]

what does the signal in the grass... no autocar or something like that

Hello, nan!

The sign means no elongated vehicles, more directed against caravans! But not a very clever sign!? :D

[Flutterby]

RP....I know I'm guaranteed to get a good laugh here!!!! -O -O

BTW - Some very nice pics here.....especially the one of the road jam-packed with animals!!!

Day 3.5




Earlier Prinswilliam and I had relaxed at the Luvhuvhu bridge, always a nice spot!


Here's a pic of me, and that weird box that is still there!:
















Then suddenly PW called me over to look at something quite unique....

















Now these Water Leguans were huge, but this rarely recorded mating footage is unfortunately anything but riveting, to say the least!





20 min later...




















I have video footage of this too, but it looks identical to the pics...except for ONE tail twitch!







So, to add some spice to the story as it unfolds, we shall have a little role play, in the best modern psychoanalytic tradition!



I shall use myself and Lisbeth as characters, so no new forumites/Aikorns are embarassed...we are a married couple of bushbuck, coming down for a drink. I am already at water's edge, and she is following.....


































Here she comes, pretending to ignore the disgusting spectacle...











Lisbuck: "RP! Where are you?'"

RP: "Over here dear, just having a drink!" (Damn, she found me... :? )





















Lisbuck: (putting on a discreet turn of speed as what she was fervently hoping to be two dead reptiles suddenly give a twitch...) "Ooooooh! Come here now! Look at these filthy animals! Murder!!"

RP: "Coming, dear...just finishing my drink..." (Silly old bag)


Lisbuck: "Come here this instant! Your drinking is insufferable! This place is going to the dogs, and all you do is drink, drink, drink! There is revolting lechery going on under your very nose, and blah blah blah...." (RP tunes out...)


RP: "Ok, Dear...trying to find you!:roll: I saw them, they've been going at it since this morning...what can one do!?" (Hag...wouldn't mind some lechery myself...wish she'd cooperate more than once a dry season... )



















Male Leguaan: "Phht.."

Female Leguaan: "Phht!..."

Lisbuck: Ooooooooooh! EEEEEEEK! Did you hear that!!! Disguuuusting!"

RP: "Sorry, Dear, a bit of flatulence..."

Lisbuck: "Not you! These depraved fornicators are screaming their lungs out, for all of paradise to hear! Oh, the humanity!! (Edging closer...) Ooooh! I can't bear to watch another second!!!!!"






















Lisbuck: "They have no shame! Rolling around in broad daylight!!!"

RP: "They haven't rolled anywhere, you silly old goat!"

Lisbuck: "Don't take that tone with me! And look at this mess you left in our clean eating area! Shame on you! OOOHHH look at them now!!! This is all your fault! And you should know that blah blah blah etc."

















And so PW and I left for less green pastures!

[Lisbeth]

You old bily goat of a lecherous buck

Don’t call me a silly old bag, nor a silly old goat (I’ll have to enrich his vocabolary for when he feels like calling me “names” )

How little you know me I would have found the mating leguans scientifically very

RP exits

[leachy]

:) :) :) :)

hey rp

i figured i would try and join this trip report near the beginning

:? :?

so that i would not have to endure all the idle banter until the end...

i was told during my july visit to the bridge by a "bush-taxi" driver from the concession

that those boxes on the bridge are to measure any movement that bridge might experience..

[Richprins]

Hello, Lisbuck! Nice pair of 'motis!



Leachy, hah! That pic actually shows the "get out at own risk" sign shadow! (So both of us caught out!)Embarassed

But got pics again last month, and the boxes keep multiplying!!??? Shocked

So maybe major volcanic activity?

[Flutterby]

But got pics again last month, and the boxes keep multiplying!!???

They must have got ideas from the leguaans!! -O
