Day 9. Balule - Lower Sabie.

Another moving day so we got up when it got light and packed up camp. We drove down the dirt roads to N'Wanetsi where had breakfast.

We found this chap on our tent and he barely escaped being breakfast for some birds when we got him off.

Close to Ngotso Dam we found a mating pair of Lions who were involved as we arrived but didn't do the deed again in the next 30 minutes while we waited.

This guy must be the Brad Pitt of the Lion world

and she seems completely bored with the whole proceedings

From the viewpoint at N'Wanetsi I got some more in flight pics of a Yellowbilled Kite

We continued on the S37 and S39 to Orpen Dam and from there down the H10 to Lower Sabie

The only things worth photographing were these two Elephants who may or may not be tuskers.

Once we had set up the campsite I went for a walk around the camp to see what I could find.

Heuglin's Robin-Chat.

Blackcollared Barbet.

Arrowmarked Babblers

Green Pigeon

The lion looks much better than Brad Pitt in my opinion, but of course that's a question of taste

Nice birds and over what are the babblers quarrelling?

I agree Lis....that lion is rather handsome...unlike Brad Pitt! -O

Great pics of all the birdies and some nice tuskers. $\O$

That is a Bibron's Gecko, BT!

Great pics! $\O$

Ja, the process can be exhausting for the lions! -O

So who is handsome then, Lis and Flutts?
