Great that you found one of the biggest ones in Kruger, Aat \O

and one I already had also the honour in meeting personally - He is quite impressive, isn't he? X#X

RP,

Seeing Mavatsani really made my day. Realizing how little chance you have to see one special tusker in that big area with just a few roads....
The t-shirt fits very well.... will make a photo with shirt and cap soon ...smileeee

and that special story... it;'s more realistic but for us it was very very special.... O** O**

Now if you say you saw something amazing, given your past trips....you must have seen a brown hyena mating with an oribi! =O:


Good some natural water north of Babalala, a very good stream that! :yes:

Thanks Pumbaa, O0
You met him in 2012 and seeing a tusker on a photo or with your own eyes is really different. I was impressed by him sure.... one of the top tuskers today. :-)

Okie,
X#X X#X It makes me happy to see the development of several tuskers.... not just Mavatsani but like the other one on the forum Mandzemba. Yesterday I was looking at the pictures I made in 2009 and looking at his pics today.... he has grown a lot. :-)

Lisbeth,
Really true... he is real big big boy. He was a bit on a mission.... just walking to this water / mud and after some drinking and "mudding" he went off , walking away.
