Hi all,
Back in the Netherlands....

We have had a great trip to Kruger, the weather let us down a bit with several rainy days but this is good for kruger and all animals.
We have seen a lot including a species we have not seen before ...guess what ? (RP is not allowed to give the answer... we told him)

Tusker related: seen 6 tuskers, almost all "old" friends and for many years on my tusker site (Mandzemba, Kaleka, Ngodzi, Shipene, Nhlowa and one more in the south I have to ID or name ....
It was a surprise to see Shipene far more south then usual, he normally roams the area in the north (North of Shingwedzi), but this time between Letaba and Mopani (closer to Letaba)

Promise: I will write some stories about several "special" sightings , is that ok with you ?

OK, let's start with the first Tusker I met:
Just one day in Kruger and a great sighting late afternoon (March 29th) When I saw him I was almost sure it was SHIPENE.
But.... He normally roams the area north of Shingwedzi , even up to Punda Maria area and now..

Just North of Letaba, between Letaba and Mopani , north of the bridge near Letaba. A real traveller but first time he went down so far. After checking the pictures 100% sure it is SHIPENE.
Now I also understand the remarks of some tusker friends about not seeing him in the North anymore.

Pictures made around 5 PM with great sunset light.
