Africa Wild

Thank you Lisbeth, Flutterby and Nan

Yes the fever tree forest is stunning. You must see it with your own eyes to experience it.

Puppy yes the north is a very special place for me and i can't stop going back there.

Richprins i have e-mailed Aat the tusker pics but will also post it under the tuskers thread

Mel the scenery is breathtaking and with all the baobab trees it makes it just so much more special

So our next stop was Babalala where everyone visited the bathroom and we stretched our legs



We had this guy entertaining us with his tricks


We thought we are in the circus but no we were still in the north of Kruger


We left after spending only 15minutes because we knew we still had a long way to go. This man made waterhole were dry and as you can see NO animals around


The Shingwedzi bridge. Not much water left




Then we quickly stopped at Shingwedzi camp to say hello to Christa and to check if our AW award were still there


They have put up signs to show the flood level..... Scary stuff


Just look at the 2 signs. The one below is from 2000 and the top one 2013


We left camp and found this elephant scratching himself against the tree. It was so funny because you could see he really enjoyed himself but can't think to myself if i would enjoy it


Our next stop will be Mopani..........

caught up on your trip report

lovely scenery around Pafuri

some nice tuskers. I like the toko. It is so entertaining to watch them

We have never been further North than Letaba but for February we have a booking at Mopani. Thus, looking forward to the next episode

Very good pics, Alpheus...thanks for checking...

Ai! So dry!

Very good those flood levels!

oups no more water

love the Elephant scratching his....

incredible to think the water was so high 2 years ago

Tina there ain't a lot of animals north of Letaba but the birds and scenery makes up for it

RP i had to check if they haven't removed it

Yes Nan most of the man made waterholes are empty

And guess what we have seen



Our first ever sighting of this in Kruger

Aardvark???

Nope sorry BJ but still coming up on the next installment

Hi Alf,

Nice start to the northern parts. Haven't been to Pafuri for more than 8 years. We were also recently at Shingwedzi and spotted the AW award and found the water holes also quite dry except for areas near the river. I heard of very interesting sightings around there I hope you saw a few.

now we... I have to know
