Africa Wild

Thanks for all the kind comments...

(What's the point of cleaning your car when you are alone and know it's going to come back filthy? )

Day 1 Part 4:

I was in a positive and experimental photographic state of mind (Or concussed and suffering from heatstroke...either way...) and surreptitiously took this pic of this massive diamond-like vehicle following me around, using my rear-view mirror! Probably some sort of hit squad, but I skillfully evaded them!












And then the glory of a summer's day in the bush sunk in, and I chanced my arm at a scenic shot:












To be met with this little family under normal unenhanced light conditions at James' Windmill:











Warthog mother: "Stand still, kids...I don't know this vehicle but something seems fishy... "

Piglet: "Something smells like hops?"

WM: "Yes...we've had a lot of problems with baboons escaping into the Park lately!"

Piglet: "Don't worry, mum, he seems innocent and kindlyt! Hello, Uncle baboon!"



RP: "Baaart!" (A combination of burping and something else...)




Warthogs: "Eeeekkk!"













Anyway, slightly less impressed, I continued and enjoyed the magnificent scanery along the Croc River:















And crossed the then-operational Mbyamiti "narrow water" bridge...


Only to see more animals running away from me!











Major Louis: "Quick! Hathi has warned us about this possible terrorist threat! Make for the hills! I heard the "Baaart" a while ago, now I know what it signifies!....Hide yourselves!"



So I just pottered along, until reaching the approaches to Croc Bridge...sort of a new chapter to the day, and wondering which nitwit would be awaiting me there first!?

I wonder why???

But, don't let that get in your way of the next episode!!

poor Piglets

RP, the merc looks suspect. Are they after 007

I take it you drive a blue golf I’m sure that I have seen you in the park

Did you ever stop someone and ask "Do I know you?" and then drive off

Those ellies seem terrified

No, BC, my vehicle is known as the "Golden Goose".

And I don't stop people other than to direct them to sightings.

I'm sure I would have smelled you feet had we met!

BTW, I've left two spelling mistakes in the last post...tired of editing!

The Golden Goose is blue with a Volkswagen sticker Are those socks or a soft toy in the back

My feet are like rubber mats, but don't stink

There is an (very) elderly lady in the Phala area that also coverts the park in a gold(ish) golf, with all the toys. Now, it is not my fault that when I see a golf, a goldish one, I get concerned. Maybe we should arrange a meet for the gold GTi gang.

I'm sure I met her at a Lit sighting, is she the one who used to live in Kenya? What a character, we chatted for ages at the roadside. Some sense of humour she has.

Exactly that lady Dewi. She is a character, RP should meet her.
