We were all happily chatting in the car, and I had totally forgotten that Valli was walking our direction, so had a bit of a fright when a giant face appeared in my car mirrors
Our car occupants went from noisy to silent in a split second as he walked out from the bushes at the back of our car. I couldn't understand how he wasn't actually touching the car he was soooo close
There was nothing we could do but sit tight and enjoy the moment, as we were blocked in by a car parked right in front of us. Valli then came around the side of our vehicle and stopped right next to us - he seemed to be staring at us! It's rare to be so incredibly close to a giant like this, and I managed to take a few nervous photos of the details on his tusks
Fairly soon he was moving along the road again. We stayed at the carcass for quite a while but there was no sign of any lions
We could drop past later in the day and see if that situation changed at all 
Continuing along to Hapoor, Valli was still creating a road block but we managed to get past him at one point and get a nice view of him hurtling towards us
At Hapoor we had just missed a buffalo herd drinking as they were departing in a train-like manner
I had a feeling we might be able to catch them by going round Mpunzi loop, and the idea paid off with the herd coming towards us
Once the herd had moved off into the bushes some movement nearby caught my attention and it turned out to be meerkats
There are 2 colonies that I know about in Addo - one of which has its home somewhere near Hapoor, but it's one of those animals that you can go for ages and not see in the park so it was brilliant to see so many of them
The sentry was taking its duty very seriously indeed.... an Addo treekat
But you managed some very nice shots of them
