Hello Albert

Welcome here on the forum

I hope to see some more of your here

What's your favourite bird?

[Albert]

My favourite bird is a Burchells coucal

i am still learning, so my sisters are helping

[Toko]

Love them, too It's a species where the males bring gifts (food) to the females to win their hearts. -O -O -O

And they also have these glowing red eyes

Hi BC,

After nearly 35 years I finally had an opportunity to visit iMfolozi game reserve again for a 4 night stay at Mpila camp. Pity I did not carry a copy of your TT to help me find all those animals, but after reading through again I have a clear picture of your visit to iMfolozi.

We arrived 3 weeks after your visit and found Bekapanzi pan completely dry and did not pay much attention to it. Now I know why I should have. . Any way Sontuli loop is the place to be at, but don't rule out Ngotsha loop.

Where exactly did you get that fab pic of the cheetah? Could not find that river bed. Stunning shots of the lions and yes that night drive is not so great as every one thinks if one must deal with iMfolozi infamous tar or gravel roads. The one guy thought we are going too slow and at no 12 split 6km from camp nearly did a 360 degree turn when he took the corner ending up in the ditch, but got out quickly when we arrived.

Now I can't wait for the next visit. Have you been to any of the other camps, e.g. Nselweni or Gqoyeni?

Sorry BJ, it’s been hectic since I got back from Kruger

I have always battled a little on Ngotsha loop

That cheetah was at the second viewpoint after Sontuli picnic site

Yip those Imfolozi roads aren’t the best

I have checked out Gqoyeni and Nselweni, but haven’t stayed there as it doesn’t suit my clan or pocket.

I was going to book Gqoyeni on my 40th for my boet and I, but he couldn’t make the dates, so canned the idea. Your own ranger for bush walks when you want is a major plus

If I had the money, I would only book Gqoyeni
