Africa Wild

Very jealous of the badger sighting and pics!

I like the H12 and it looks lovely in all its greenery.

Not much water left in the river, richprins Know these views only with much more water

Love also the bushbuck shot

Thanks, BC, stf, Flutts and Pumbaa!



Skuks is not what it was... and I was there in April!



















No more grass, it seems...this is growth season. And floods are no excuse. Other camps along rivers have plenty lawns!










It was a busy morning, indeed, so rubbish excused? No! This is the flagship camp of the country's flagship National Park!












Remember this pic...












Anyway, off we went for a packed leftover brunch at the nursery! Great stuff, especially as Prinsadam tried to fit various trees into his vehicle...hilarious!









And a goodbye near Numbi on the way out!









End of this segment!

indeed Skukuza need a refurbishment

too many people... too many people who don't know rubish bins and anybody to empty them

did you return with a tree

oh ! I remember this pic.... tragical day

Priorities are wrong in Skukuza at the moment

A sign on the fence is easier than a better fence

The fence is NOW fine, BC!

nana remembers the disaster there in 2011!

Nice buffalo

Nothing is what it used to be...........my mirror tells me so every morning

Thanks, all!

Next segment!

My Birthday...a great getaway daytrip last Friday, with Goldenboy and Borderline!

The Fat and the Furious!





We actually left on time at 05h00!

And returned to my hovel to fetch the icepack for the cooler!


So we actually left late!

Did the Malalane N4 entry route...the road is stunning now, no stops and lines painted!


But the lines don't mean much...some black vehicle with blue light capability?








Anyway...


GB: "We shall stop for coffee just after the Tollgate!"

RP: "Agreed!"

Bl: "Agreed!"



A little while later:


GB: "OK, that filling station is closed. We shall stop for coffee in Malalane!"

RP: "Agreed!"

Bl: "Why do you keep spelling it Malalane?"

RP: "That is actually an official name change!"

GB: "One letter? "

RP: "Yes! Fascinating!"



The coffee was stunning...we are getting older, it seems...


Not much sightings-wise, but stunning scenery!













The S-114...we were actually heading north ASAP to follow the clouds, because if the sun came out we would die!

We are getting old, it seems!







A chicken!








GB: "The clouds!"

Bl: "Move it, leave the chicken!"

RP: "Agreed!"








We made the next bunch of clouds!















And then a sign of rain!










GB: "You always say various things are a sign of rain!"
RP: "How dare you question my authority!"


GB was reading a book, and spouting facts to us. We are getting old!

It never rained...

double line = no more permit
indeed nice road to Malelane... and now we have to pay
I prefer the little one

signs of rain
you have some others
the chicken was for the... braai
