Your photos are getting better and better by the trip, methinks! And looking at the outer conditions that were (once again

) not favourable,
I really applaude you for the Quality of your Pictures!

Always great to look at them.

What a busy waterhole

We saw no animals there during our April/May weekend

Great lion & ellie pics Pumbaa.

I've still not caught up with woodlands kingfishers, but did get my first ever carmine bee-eaters this year. Love your pics of them both. $\O$

Dewi, those f-ing kingfishers scream all day and most of the short night...ghastly things, and you are missing nothing!

They are lovely $O\/$ especially if you do not have to live with them all the time

I love the variety of your pics Pumbaa! $\O$

I love all these different animals together at the water hole. The landscape does not look very Krugerish but then again, I have never been there.

The tiny ellies are a joy to look at $O/\$ $O/\$

The pic of the korhaan is very pretty

Defenitely far too dry this year, Lisbeth - Indeed no Kruger landscape with all the green vegetation and high grass

Ja, those kingfishers are a pest!

That male lion won't sleep much while in mating mode...he is bored and waiting for the wife to wake up and indicate she's ready for more "games"...

It took indeed quite a while until she was again ready
