A Boon With a View - Dimwits Olifants 2018 Mambas Returns Interactive Report

[Richprins]

Onward!

It was hot and dry, in case I haven't mentioned that?

Mazithi Dam was dry, but the windpump operating!

We turned off on the S-86 a bit to go and sit in the shade. Someone got out of the car next to us to drain the main vein, and got quite a shock as some ellies made a sudden appearance!

Kumana Dam was also dry!

[Richprins]

I was in a fine mood with all the drinking going one, so this sight nearly gave me an organism:

It was Sweni waterhole on the S-126

Mam: "Sir, are you ok?"

RP: "Oooh! Ooh! OOoh!"


Frew: "More coming!"

RP: "Oooooooooh!"

[Richprins]

I could quite happily have sat here all day...


I may have said this before but waterhole-action...

Frew: "Ja, I think your point has been made. "


One thing I hate is how the elephants bully other drinkers, especially the teenagers!

Naughty boy!

Q: How many mammal species were at the waterhole?

[Lisbeth]

The animals coming en masse to drink, but the scenery is not very pretty when it is so dry

The last pic is lovely

[Richprins]

The dry scenery has a different attraction, Lis? Amazing how it changes after rain, hey?

In the last pic a small ellie was copying the bahaviour of a teenager.

[Lisbeth]

They all do and they look so funny

The way the scenery changes is one of the charms of Kruger

[Alf]

We also drove that tar road up north and it was shocking to see all waterholes dry. Glad you had some action
