Richprins' Short Business Trips to The Park

[Lisbeth]

I would have been happier if you'd only posted the most flattering photos

It was a lovely day indeed

[Mel]

Maybe you could post a flattering pic of RP, Lis

[Richprins]

And just what is waiting around that curve in the road

The aminal is in the pic already, Ex!

[Flutterby]

Glad you had good conversation because if you had relied on sightings you would have had a problem!!

I can see the buffalo popping out his head

Leachy isn’t one to fight

Disneyland you say

[Richprins]

3 Buffalo eventually appeared!

We game gloser and gloser!

They walked onto the rock around which the little loop is built!

[Richprins]

I think they drink the clean water that gathers in the rock pools after rain.

A little further one turns off down the H2-2 Voortrekker road. We had lots of time so I suggested we go down it a bit to the rhino camp and see how the corrugations were...


The road was terrible and we were about to turn around when I noticed a huge ellie had popped into the road behind us!

I haven't seen a bull this tall in many years indeed! He is quite young too so aat must keep tabs!

But he was obsessed with his trunk and followed us for quite a while before we managed to escape past him!

[Richprins]

Lis is quite brave, up to a point!

Back at the turnoff we continued down the Faai loop, and it wasn't long before there was another one!


In the drizzle this looks like the Congo or something...

Eventually the trunk rested on the tusks again we clicked that it was the same ellie that had taken a short cut from the H2!


Animals are scarce in the rain and soon we were at the Faai Stream.

[Lisbeth]

I will tell the same story later, at least I think that it is the same story, only a bit different

An elephant encounter

Sounds like a thriller
