Africa Wild

So it was time to depart to L/Sabie for 2 nights

I was so sad in a way to leave the open plains of Satara but excited at the same time, what would Kruger have installed for our last 3 days?

Survivors


We decided to head for L/Sabie as soon as possible as it was already 29 degree at 10 in the morning , a scorcher of a day would await us







Finally - Happiness!

That night we went on a night drive again and we met an old 'friend" Scar which you can read the whole story here

So it was our last full day in the park

We were greeted by this 2 in the riverbed early morning

I experienced my most disappointing photo opportunity in years going to Kruger with this next sighting

The only time I've managed to capture this loerie was in Pretoriuskop camp.........years ago

I had the best opportunity but this loerie did a tango of his own on that branch and I only got this failed attempt Focus!!

Our afternoon drive produced this beautiful big buff herd near L/Sabie





And what would a day in L/Sabie be without a visit to Sunset Dam to end the day?

Time to wrap - seeing that we exited the park exactly a year back on this day on this TT Memories!!!

Almost time for our next visit in Jan'14

We opted to exit at Crocodile bridge - A wise decision

We first saw this guy, clearly on a mission, the reason for his nervousness we would encounter around the corner

Then this guy startled us, he was lacking behind poor creature

If only we had a blue car, imagine that awesome pics

So with that Kruger gave us the best departure

Although frustrating at some times, we mastered the Kruger tango!

Till the next adventure / tango
