For the afternoon drive we took the S25, it wasn’t long before we came across a sleeping hippo :-?

And further down the S25, a hyena family with cubs.

As we had already had a long day we agreed to stay with the pups and enjoy the last rays of sun.

One of the littlest pups was very curious and came right up to the car to check us out.

We had not made it as far as Skukuza yesterday, and the H4-1 had been good yesterday – so we took the H4-1 again up to Skukuza.
