Great shot of the handsome guy on your way to Transport Dam and as I'm a sucker for sunsets that will be my favourite here 
God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Re: A Quick trip to Kruger during Covid-19
We did have a number of good sightings for such a quick trip but did clock up some miles as well
My SO loves the sunset and sunrise shots as well .
its amazing we were busy the whole time but as soon as you get through the gate the relaxing magic starts 
he had already down that by the time we arrived and was working on the grass .-

The clear water survace was broken and a large mass appeared close to the Impalas .
A croc was warming up on the bank of the dam .
The sun glinting off the water of the dam was very mesmerizing .
The Impalas were still coming down in groups .
On the far bank another Hyena arrived and went behind a rock for a while
A new bakkie arrived and parked next to us .After a short while there was a metallic banging next to us .We wondered what could possibly be wrong with their bakkie to make such funny noises . Looking around I located the problem and it was actually on our vehicle it was a Hornbill banging on the chrome running bars on our car
While I was watching there was a sudden flutter and another pushy bird appeared on the car .
After a while the hidden Hyena reappeared and walked all the way around the dam and past the car park .
We decided to take our leave and carry on towards Afsaal ...

Interaction with the birds
Not a bad place to sit for a while. Normally there are lots of waterbirds too, but then I have only been there in summer
