With the lions all parking off and vehicles piling up along the road we continued up as far as Hapoor where there was a lone jackal
After the lion excitement and the fact that it was still raining at times we decided to head back south. Along the southern access road there was a hartebeest with a good Addo mud pack
We found a good number of buffalo near Peasland with some nice size bulls bringing up the rear of the herd
Back down at the south gate, it seemed we weren't the only ones planning an exit
Fortunately he turned off into the bush about 20m before the perimeter fence

Re: Addo 2021
Two trips into the park, lion sightings twice... that's a pretty good outcome And quality sightings on top of it.
Paul Kruger is massive and impressive, but when and where did he break off one of his tusks? Already before translocating or only afterwards?
Sad news about Jill. Does anyone know why / how?

Re: Addo 2021
Lovely shots as always, Peej!
The aminals look so different in the rain, like the lion with the flat mane!
I'm sorry, but that burst eyeball on the one lioness freaks me out completely.

I love the orb web with the droplets
Who of the three has the bad eye, is it Josie? It does not look nice
You were lucky with the lions

Re: Addo 2021
Paul's tusk damage is relatively recent, but I'm not sure how it happened... presumably in a fight at some point. And there really hasn't been much news on Jill other than the fact that nothing except her collar was foundMel wrote: ↑Tue Apr 06, 2021 9:47 am Two trips into the park, lion sightings twice... that's a pretty good outcome And quality sightings on top of it.

Re: Addo 2021
Yeah that eye is a real nasty one... it just seems to be getting worse and worse. I've asked one of the section rangers if they'll intervene, but haven't heard back yet
