Africa Wild

All the oxpeckers of the region have met on that one giraffe

Thirsty ellies

Interesting the oxpecker gathering, Rog!

Looks like they are picking at some wounds...they basically live off blood!

I've also got lost around Mpondo Dam a few times!

Nice giraffe pics.

Also love the Giraffe shots, Roger,

and for sure all the Birdies The Lower Sabie causeway is always worth to stand there and look a bit around

I have also heard of people getting lost in the south

.Think we spend too much time in the South can drive days without using a map

Yes must have broken a number of regulations about parties

Yes always understood them to be after ticks and mites but seem to be digging into some wounds .

Mpondo can be a little tricky with the loops but well posted . Definitely feel it could use a picnic spot there or mini bush camp would be a great place to overnight

Its a happy spot for us as well as Sunset dam .Still looking for the otters there every time

After the dam we found this little fellow


We found a lovely scene back on the river road .



Seemed to be a day of checkups and service for the inmates ...


We came across another interesting Giraffe seemed to have two holes in its face ...




After stopping at Croc Bridge for a break we took our last drive up the H4 .We found a couple of cars parked on the Bridge by the dam and on arriving we found a busy couple taking a break





Cars were quickly banking up .We left them to take their break and carried on the S28 a bit finding this dude ...


We found another Impala getting a service

After reaching the H4 again we found these Batleurs


And the last animal we saw before leaving the park was the same as the first a little punk


On the drive to the house along the fence in Marloth we saw this fellow


And a hippo was out of the water


And that was the end of the Quick trip . Thank you for sticking around for the ride and the comments

That was a great short trip with plenty of good sightings

I like the duiker

You found quite a selection of different animals

You had some great sightings. Thank you for sharing with us.

You had some very varied sightings, a bit of this and a bit of that, for such a short time. It was certainly worth it

for sharing
