Looking back from the other side of the weir, we could see some others from the pride hiding from the wind.

After watching for 10 minutes we moved on up the S23. This family was on one of the koppies.

We stopped at Skukuza for Lunch, on the way in we always stop and take a pic of the reception sighting board from the car. As you can see below the day had been quiet for everyone…

Lunch was at the Cattle Baron takeaways, and for a change was quite good. We did ensure that the Kruger Statue pic was taken..

The H4-1 down to Lower Sabie has some general game but else was not the H4-1 I am used to in the winter months.

We had a pit stop at Lower Sabie then off down to Croc Bridge. Most of this drive was quiet with some general game in isolated spots. Then we came across a group of cars stopped, not like the usual huge jams during school holidays, probably about 6 cars at most.

The dogs were in the bush a few kilos past the S130 southern entrance.

The dogs would get up and move around every few minutes, but it was only 16h00, so we knew they were not going anywhere yet
