Africa Wild

The vultures were already there and pressuring the lions to move on.

After a few attempts to chase the vultures, the lioness eventually moved off down to the river and left the remains to the vultures.

Just after the S79 causeway was another lion pride, all sleeping

And then closer to Nkuhlu our first leopard sleeping on the skinniest branch

It is understandable that the leopard jumped down, that branch can't have been very comfortable Nice sighting though

At skukuza, we took the annual Statue photos and then went off to the golf course for lunch – we have found that it is far quieter and better value for money at the golf course.

To head back we took the H1-2 / H12 loop and about mid-way along the loop we spotted another leopard on the river side of the road.


On the way down to Crocodile Bridge we found a journey of giraffes and some more lion.

At the Gasanftombi bridge we stopped to watch a herd of Ellies digging for water and playing in the sand.

Great sightings, SN!

Cats all over, and your leopard done!

Cailey!

Love the baby ellies!

Back at Marloth Park that evening we had a visit from the resident Bush baby.

In Kruger you normally don't see so many giraffes close together, maybe queuing for a drink

Such cute tinyphants

That first photo of the lion almost looks as if the vulture was waiting for him to die

Awesome leopard sighting and the playing ellies are gorgeous too.

That bushbaby is well camouflaged... at least it appears in that frame.
