Nice pic of the kudu male \O

Where did you take the photo of the big herd of elephants in the water?

Hi Lis, that photo was taken on the H4-1 between Skukuza and Lower Sabie. ;-)

We checked in at Lower Sabie and enjoyed the view from our tent for a while. :-0

This Natal Spurfowl was having a dust bath nearby.

For our afternoon drive we just headed down the H4-1 and back again.

On the way back, when it was quite dark already, we found 3 cubs in thick bush, but only managed these two bad pics.

And Brat looks pensive indeed, as one always does watching the fire... :yes:

We saw lots of tiny ellies!! [InLuv]
Every single herd of elephants we saw had some tiny babies.
Even the small family groups of 5 or 6 cows had assorted sized youngsters plus one or two new borns
As discussed elsewhere on the Forum, there is an elephant population problem
