I agree!

Superb disciplined marching by Col. Hathi and his band!

Funny how hairy the babies are...a throwback from ancient times?

Thanks for more incredible ellie, warthog and lion shots, PJL

Stunning elephant pictures

After a welcome lunch at the Cattle Baron, we continued with our afternoon drive. Craig had to be back home for a family function by 5:30 but sightings meant that was never going to happen

The flat lion was still very flat near Domkrag, but we were fortunate to see these little guys nearby







Heading south there were plenty of flightless dung beetles around and we came across our first buffalo of the day





News came through that the cubs had been spotted on Ngulube loop and we were heading in that direction so the anticipation built. However as we got to the crossroads a group of elephant walked out onto the road and couldn't decide what to do next. So we had to wait behind them for about 10mins wondering whether the lions would still be around when they finally cleared... to pass the time I took a few shots of their hairy tails

Close up elephant tails are not exactly pretty

magnificent image of the Ellies walking one by one.... well almost
love the little one
and the Phacochere too (sorry don't know how to write Wart....)

Hell, that is a clever tail pic, PJL! refreshing indeed!

Are meerkat meant to be in Addo?

I think, I might be a tad jealous now... not for the ellies or the flat out Lion... saw plenty of that
But the meerkats - they eluded us, although I looked up and down around Harpoor and at Carol's Rest every time we parked there

Lovely ellie pics!
