A grumpy-looking buff indeed, Rog!
It certainly looks dry!
I like the ellies at the water, and the heron!
That train...
Yes it was still very dry .

I like the ellies in the riverbed. They go for clean water as the waterhole water is usually dirty with lots of poo etc.

You've already seen quite a variety

The leopard w/ cub is always special, and the ellies never fail to amuse.

This was a very busy day and it is only just starting
Thanks Pumba

Our next sighting on our trip was these lovely birds .
And shortly thereafter our usual sighting of a Secretary bird leaving any area we are in
We then came upon a few vehicles that pointed out some flat cats .They were very flat out in the shade as it was hot by now . One sat up and rolled over and was the best of the sighting before we left on our way to get to Tshokwane for a break
At Kumana dam we found a five legged

bull ellie that was trying to cool down in the heat
This Buf did not have any luck at the waterhole
It was very dry as can be seen in the scenery .
A male and female were resting in the shade a bit further on .Most likely a mating pair but there was no activity while we were there
We stopped in at Satara ...

What a brilliant leopard sighting you had there one morning
And the rest of what you saw wasn't too shabby either
Lots of great photos too

What is that train? Restaurant? "Hotel"? And how do you reach it

You walk from one end of the train to the other end inside the train like in a normal train.

It's the famous train hotel at Skukuza and I think that you walk outside on the other side from where the pic was taken. The restaurant is not on the train, but close by.
