having checked in at punda for 3 nights i headed for kloppies early on the 1st morning
twas good to see the kloppies baobab fully dressed..
kloppies dam was like a scene from a cartoon sketch
where this buffalo had been waiting so long for the rains...
weirdest thing was that another buffalo had decided to keep the carcass company
and placed himself by his side..
this lion photo-bombed my photo of the
"tree-stump demon"
there was very little water in the dam at this stage !!!
and this is all that remains of the big shady tree on the
opposite bank of the dam...

and the lion was one of 9 lying in the shade above the rocks on the other side of the dam

So, this one laid down next to his "mate" and died there in the mud too?
