Lovely nyalas

Like a big Pafuri this place!

We have those peeling-bark type trees here too...wonder why they do that?

Peeling provides light access to the photosynthetic layers of the trunk during the dry season when there are no leaves - a clever tree genus the bunch of Commiphora.

You may see different ones in Kruger.

Ja! Commiphora!

The afternoon starts with this elephant feeding on Monkey Oranges - needs some stretching





Nice shape of this pod mahongany

One of the few patches of Sand forest on the eastern side with the tallest trees - they don't fit into a photo frame



Lembobo wattle about 15 m tall

and off to the sand dune ridge of the western swamp side

An elephant herd in front








Youngster starring










Lots of them around feeding in the thicket and you don't see them - only cracking twigs

Just relax and hope they are relaxed, too

[Lisbeth]

Close up elephants and the mahogany is very nice

[Flutterby]

Are the Samangos as pesky as the vervets? Nice ellie sighting.

[Richprins]

Lovely to see huge indigenous trees remaining!

A fairytale place!
