Your Favourite Waterhole/Waterpoint

[Peter Betts]

Did I say Boyela is the best venue to see the wild and elusive Eland ..They dont need to drink from ground water sources but if its near their route they will indulge

[Peter Betts]

Yes the Boyela Mega Pride puts the Satara /Gudzane Mega Pride to shame size wise

Another Eland Pic at Boyela ...In the 2 weeks we camped at Shingwedzi I went straight there every morning and got them twice @ 08h30

These are the Livingstones Eland different from the Cape eland found in the E Cape and Drakensberg

[Peter Betts]

On another occassion I found part of the Boyela Pride in the road at 05h00 one Dec after leaving Shingwedzi on my own lone car @ 04h30..Not another car came up or down the main Tar road H4-1 in 2 hours allowing me to immerse myself in pride life all around my car ..Imagine being able to do that on the H4-1//2

Nkaya Pan is my favorite watering point in the Satara area ..Light behind you in the early morning and good water in Aug/Sept if there was good April/May Rain

If the light is in the right position its ok to shoot with the sun 30 mins up after sunrise

WE stayed at Satara for 18 days a couple of years ago to give the ladies electricity for a change after years of Tsendze and Balule..I went to Nkaya every morning apart from the days I did the H7 with the sun behind me..Awesome just sitting there watching the parrots drink in between sightings like this on my own in the SATARA area ..amazing !!!
