When we got back to camp, a big storm broke. :-0

For our afternoon drive we headed down the H6, onto the S41 and back on the S100 but didn't have any major sightings.

Interesting markings on this kudu. :-?

We did see hyenas and jackal at the fence but no honey badgers or AWC. :no:

The kudu looks as if she has leant against a newly painted wooden fence lol

The brat looks good with the beard \O

Patches of white on the kudu, leucism. :shock: Rare sighting that ^Q^ ^Q^

Nice that you have some history pics of Brat at Satara. My brother has the same, but with the kudu statue at Skukuza. I wish that I had thought of something similar with our kids.

The S100 is one of the best roads in Kruger for sunset photos \O

The pics are a nice (but also sad) reminder of the passing years. :yes: :no:

The next morning we packed up to move to Skukuza. We didn't want to go down the H1-3 because of all the burning, so we decided to do the S100, then take the S37, H1-2, H10, then onto the S128, S30 and H4-1.

Once again the S100 was quiet, with only a few birds to entertain us. :O^

Wahlbergs, I think.

The S37 was also quiet except for this jackal. He could obviously hear something in the grass/soil and was listening and staring intently.
