When small Streams turn into Rivers

[Pumbaa]

In a more open area the typical Kruger antelopes could be seen as well and besides the wildebeests, zebras and waterbucks



we came across more giraffes on the other side of the road so it was overall a lot of animals around.



More zebras forced us to stop again for a short while,



however, that youngster in the high green grass needed a bit more attention from us





and so did another adult zebra who posed simply so nice.



So far we were in vain looking out for a martial eagle during that trip but luckily same sat this early morning on a branch of a dead tree so same could be ticked now as well.





We even detected a still very relaxed buffalo herd and



we meanwhile turned into the S58 – The Dzundzwini loop – also for us always a nice drive and a must whenever in the area and close to the turn off where you can drive even up the hill at an open area we noticed masses of elephants in nearly all sizes.

Some were busy with a waterhole whilst



others already finished with their morning routine



and some youngers were in a playful mood.





A larger herd started already to disappear in the distance in the green vegetation



but also at that sighting we took our time and stayed with them.



After we had enough we finally carried on at stopped for another raptor



and another brown snake eagle must say that we so far never saw that many



of them during one trip as during this one.



Close to the turn off into the H13-2 we also detected a lone buffalo bull in his private pool

and also here we stood a bit longer as we simply do not wanted to leave the park



but after a very short visit to Punda Maria camp we finally left the park and luckily the drive back to Johannesburg was uneventful so we arrived there safe and sound.

The end – Finally!
