Africa Wild

Catching up here... and dunno where to start... so much cool stuff going on - and the most interesting of all is Thulani.
What a guy! Hats off to him and may he keep his belief and pace up.

How can you have several coffee AND a shower in the morning and still be early enough for a morning drive though?
If we ever did that, we might as well just opt for the afternoon drive.

Nice accomm! Looks cosy and I like the verandah. Looks inviting.

How long are you allowed to stay out at Tembe? Changing tyres in the dark and all.

Is that Mfungeni Pan the one from the webcam? Sorry, but I don't know anything about Tembe,
seeing that I'm not very adventurous regarding trying out new parks.

Just don't have too much wine and food and you'll be fit and can take it slowly with coffee and everything

No, the webcam overlooks Mahlasela Pan and I have not spent much time there on this trip.

Very impressive, this Thulani fellow.

Lunch time for this Samango










The lodge covers a rather large area of Woodland and one can walk quite for a while along the fence while thinking and doing plans.

Two species of Monkey Orange are found there






Toad trees






Pod Mahogany



Sweet-root Corkwood showing its green bark

Red duiker always around




On the main road two bulls strolling along




might be safer to look to the other direction and these humans won't see us when they pass



or even better step off the road



and try to look impressive in display





He can relax now, humans have passed


Some other camp dwellers looking for shade






Time to get a cold drink and a coffee and then off again

Nice two bulls
