Africa Wild

Nice, Rog!

Love the ellie reaching up shot!

And a nice gang of scallywags!

Green pigeons also not that common!

always amazes me when you just stop randomly in Kruger and enjoy the sightings .

Always wanted to see an Ellie reaching up like that .

After the stop at Berg en Dal we went back to Malelane and did some work


Later we went out for some more loops .On the way to Afsaal some more of the gang was resting


For some reason the settings turned out to be way off on the camera when we met these unicorns


Later we did our favourite loop the S118 again and found the rest of the Lions from the previous day sleeping in the riverbed .Well we did not find them some other cars were stopped already and with some back and forwards we got a few far away shots through the grass ...




Some little guys playing on the rocks


A raptor


Some Lillys were flowering


And some Klippes taking a break


Back at camp we had the pleasure of some Ellies


and sunset


before the braai fire was lit

I love the klippies

Thanks Lisbeth

The following morning we were heading back home but as we traveling through Swaziland again we decided to spend the morning in the Park and leave from Croc Bridge .

We found our first sighting still sleeping .


We tried to stay a respectful distance away but we still unfortunately disturbed it .


We enjoyed the sunrise along the river road


Crossing over the low level bridge we enjoyed some early birds


It was very scenic and we enjoyed some time watching


Further along we found this lappet vulture


We drove the S130 loop and our final pic of the trip was the most photographed tree in Kruger before leaving for home .

Fabulous photos

Great TT, Roger

Catching up, Rog!

What wonderful shots to end off with!

Amazing how the rhino horns start growing back after being cut off!

Stunning waterfowl pics at the end there.

Thanks so much for a rich and wonderful report.

Also caught up Roger,

amazing ellie shot and also love the morning birds, the rhinos and the hyenas

Indeed more than great days you had
