Or must we say Joan?

I so love that part of the Park, very special memories!

Joan say thank you for the compliment.

10 June 2018 - Part 2/3

Scenes from the S100.

A hooded vulture and an unidentified one. Could also be a white backed?











We popped into Satara for a comfort break and I got this shot of a Red-billed Firefinch - a first for us.





Nsemani Dam.



Seen on the H7 going back to Orpen.







Arrived back at Orpen to get ready for our sunset drive. We also get 40% of drives as pensioners.

To be continued.

Great pic of the finch

The 40% discount only works for SA citizens. Most likely I would not go on one anyway, but it is just not fair In Europe it works for all nationalities and even in Russia!

Ver naas, stf!

Interesting all the oxpeckers on the hippo, and Loch Ness monster in the background!

Ja, white-back on that vulture!

Thank you Lisbeth. I was amazed that it stood still for me.

It is a great pity that overseas visitors do not qualify for discounts.

Wow FlutterbyI cannot believe that we have seen something that you have not.

I'm sure you have seen lots that we haven't!

So very true.

10 June 2018 - Part 3/3

While waiting for our sunset drive I got a few more sunbird pics.









We went to waiting area and there was another game viewing truck there. The guide said to us " Would you like to see our python."

Well we all followed him through reception and out the back door. He pointed up into a tree and we really struggled to find it. We eventually saw a bit of it curled up near the top of the tree.





Some pics from the sunset drive.







Unfortunately nothing else special was seen.
