I was excited as FINALLY everything was ready to do a bit of live reporting from a waterhole, as I had remembered the cable from the camera to the laptop this time!
Camera - check!
Cable - check!
Laptop - check!
Cellphone signal - check!
No water...
Faaaaaark!
Still some animals, though...
So off I rushed to find some water somewhere...
Water in the sky!
Down the S130 it is like a dead fairy forest...
This car was crawling along...

We were following a Kori bustard that was certainly not going to leave the road and go into the scary forest!
We went on for about a km until a car came from the front!
And then a hideous monster just next to the forest!

This giraffe appears on the "interesting behaviour" thread and seems to be going on fine...
Full of beans I screamed into Duke Waterhole's parking...and it was dry too.
So I just drove around aimlessly.
There were swarms of warthog everywhere, which is actually a good sign regarding veld conditions!
And theoretically I saw lion!

You should have got a better pic of the Kori. You don't often see them on the road

I enjoyed this episode
We spotted “monster” 2 weeks ago just outside Lower Sabie but on the H4-1
Flat lion body, still lion

Also spotted that giraffe during our February trip
A pity that that the water at Gesamftombi had gone - Let's hope for some new pretty soon
