Thanks everyone \O

With the day hotting up nicely we took a route up to the main camp and decided to braai there instead of Jacks. With the fire going and feeling very relaxed this bushbuck popped into the open nearby O\/

It was also a good chance to photograph some of the colourful flowers that have been covering the park O:V

Image

Image

Once we had finished eating a weaver came along to check for any leftovers ;-)

Image

The rest of the drive south was rather quiet with most animals avoiding the head of the day. The lions were flat out and barely visible, but when we got down to Lismore there was a one-horned buffalo enjoying a mud bath

Image

After a good scratch he went to drink and amazingly an elephant came in and tolerated him being there...

Image

Image

Normally the ellies will chase a single buffalo away from water very quickly, but this one wasn't in the mood for a major clash. After a while the elephant decided it was time for the buffalo to move on and gently splashed him a few times until he got the message
