That Maroela Loop can also be hit and miss.
For me, it’s more miss.
Never seen anything of note along there. :no:

The next morning we took the S100, S41, S90 and then went up to Olifants.

First up on the S100, we had a very playful hyena running around our car like a little puppy! :-0 Only took video, and this is a very bad screenshot! lol

Not long after, a leopard crossed the road in front of us, and once again, only managed blurred pics! 0*\

The pic of the water and sun rays is beautiful ^Q^

Another leopard :shock:

The S100 has long ago become famous for its "all or nothing at all" ;-)

With the mobile phones of today, you don't need a camera anymore O** ^Q^

I have worked out that I have about a 1 in 3 Kruger visits with a good S100 drive.
August was not one of them. Odd because the S41, was really good.

Fantastic astronomy photo ^Q^

Simply love those Satara sunsets \O

Thanks Flutterby ^Q^

And another leopard and playful hyenas :yes: The S100 can be very fruitful but also very quiet - Nevertheless for us always a must drive road ;-)

We went up to Olifants for lunch, and found a White-bellied Sunbird near the deck.
