Great that you found one of the biggest ones in Kruger, Aat \O

RP,

Seeing Mavatsani really made my day. Realizing how little chance you have to see one special tusker in that big area with just a few roads....
The t-shirt fits very well.... will make a photo with shirt and cap soon ...smileeee

and that special story... it;'s more realistic but for us it was very very special.... O** O**

Now if you say you saw something amazing, given your past trips....you must have seen a brown hyena mating with an oribi! =O:


Good some natural water north of Babalala, a very good stream that! :yes:

It seems Kruger has embarked on a ellie mission,
all fresh legs,...Mastulele and Mavatsani still
juvenile in a sense,.....call them young "menere"

Thanks Pumbaa, O0
You met him in 2012 and seeing a tusker on a photo or with your own eyes is really different. I was impressed by him sure.... one of the top tuskers today. :-)

Okie,
X#X X#X It makes me happy to see the development of several tuskers.... not just Mavatsani but like the other one on the forum Mandzemba. Yesterday I was looking at the pictures I made in 2009 and looking at his pics today.... he has grown a lot. :-)

Lisbeth,
Really true... he is real big big boy. He was a bit on a mission.... just walking to this water / mud and after some drinking and "mudding" he went off , walking away.
