and after the final bath had been done they walked away on one of the many dirt tracks around the waterhole.
One lone bull still stayed as he was busy in feeding on the long grass inside the waterhole and as we still had a bit time left we sure watched him still quite a while.
Finally we also left but still had time for a stop at Nsemani dam and here now the hippos performed a show as well
in the best evening light.
On our way back to camp we stopped for a lilac breasted
as well as an European roller
and we spent the rest of the evening on our verandah with a cold one until it was time for an early night.
Sunday, 18. February 2024 – Satara
Explored roads: H1-4 – H1-3 – H6 – S41 – S100 – H1-3 – S126 – S36 – H7 – H1-4
As always our day started with a brewing hot coffee in hand on our verandah and once again we left with gate opening time and today we decided to give the H6 a try and what to say after approx. one kilometer we had to stop as a couple of lions had occupied the road.
In total four lionesses were lying flat on the road
but for sure looked up when we neared them. Today we were the third car at that sighting but luckily the lions stayed where they were
also after shortly two more cars arrived but all the cars gave the lions enough distance so all of us at that sighting could enjoy the view onto the lions and same even got back into sleeping mode
at least most of them did.

Yes, Girivana was filled up but we saw that waterhole already far fuller. It looked as if the area around Satara had a bit more rains than the rest of the park 
it's a pleasure to follow your TT 
, and I never imagined seeing an "ugly"
