What a fantastic start, Roger

Amazing leopard and elephant shots and also love the sunset at the dam

Nice pics of the elephants crowding around the water hole

The klipspringer pic is rather special and of course the heron awaiting his luck

Not it was very poorly looking .

It certainly looks dry!

I like the ellies at the water, and the heron!

That train...

Yes it was still very dry .

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 ...

That ellie shots is lovely and a lion

Thanks Roger

You have not counted well, Roger; the bull is six-legged

The buffalo skull would look nice in the garden

Lions

Lions galore!

Nice sightings, Rog!

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.

Love the big bird - a favourite of mine
