Thanks Richprins,
love the Faayi loop lions - Great sighting - If there were some during my trip I ould have never seen it as the grass was far too high but the loop is so beautiful in summer
Also love your dam shots

Back on the tar road, an ellie eating!
Then back to camp for delicious bacon and eggs!
When suddenly something entirely new and unexpected pitched up...
The little rock monitor didn't have a care in the world!

I experimented with giving it a piece of bacon, which it was not so impressed with?
Momprins did not like this visitor at all...gross!
Anyway, after the excitement, my normal sitting on the stoep waiting for the afternoon drive, and checking out the occasional visitor!

A blue waxbill, common there:
Then off to the pool for the normal walk...the Weeping Boerbean flowers come out in late winter, they are gorgeous as always!
And only a rock pool on the drive...
And next morning home in blistering heat, what a contrast!
END OF 2023 SEASON

A squirrel
Bacon might not be the taste of a monitor

The food of a monitor is normally not smoked. You should have tried with the egg
I believe that you love the trips to Kruger not only because of the bush-feel and the animals, but also because of the food
On to 2024

Ja, only bacon and steak I get is in Kruger or Marloth!
