Africa Wild

so...........

it was time to go for my last evening drive of this trip

alas !!!!!!



i took a turn passed this majestic beauty
.
.

.
.


to the confluence

where this

young "letaba buck" was peeking out from behind the bush.......
.
.

.

.
.


when looking down from the bridge

the riverbed looks like a mine field

with all the wells that the ellies have dug to find water...
.
.

.
.


and then on the way back to the camp i spotted

nkombo........

(i must just check with richprins if that is in fact a collar around his neck ???)

.
.

.

.
.

.
.

.


he wandered up the river bank just below where i was parked

and began snacking on some of the fresh new growths..
.
.

.
.

.
.

.
.

.


i left early the next morning to head home

and after stopping to snap one of the water holes in the river
.
.

.
.

i saw that machachule had come to bid me farewell

as he had been there, to greet me on arrival
.
.

.
.
a brief stop on the letaba low water bridge
.
.

.
.

and my last sighting of the week just before phalagat

was a breeding herd of loxodonta africana.....
