This was Graham and Rene's last full day in the Park, and the other half of the family were coming up to Satara from Pretoriuskop today.
We decided to go up to Olifants.
Just outside of Satara there were 4 very tired lions lying very close to the road. One was lying apart from the other three.



In close attendance were two jackal, also taking it easy. It was overcast and cool which maybe accounted
for the inactivity

This red-crested korhaan was a bit upset about something. We couldn't see what was there, unless of course
he was trying to attract a lady friend






Further down the road were 5 ground hornbill. We have most often seen them in groups of 5, mum, dad, baby and
two helpers

Come Mum I need some food


and tippy tip toeing across the road.

These are not great photos as this bird was quite far off the road. I am sure this is a denham's bustard.
First in KNP for us and a little bit out of its range. It was following some kori bustards. The reddish colour
at the base of the neck points in the direction of a denham's bustard.




More to follow!
