That Maroela Loop can also be hit and miss.

For me, it’s more miss.
Never seen anything of note along there.

You don't see little bee-eaters very often

Nice pic of the buff and I love the pigeon tree

Thanks Lis.

1.5 leopards!

Green pigeons are one of my favourites!

And a tusker!

Also like Green pigeons.

We've had a few good leopard sightings on the Maroela Loop so we always take it.

For our afternoon drive we took the H6 and back on the S100 but saw nothing.


S100 sunset.


The Brat got this pic of the Milky Way on his phone.

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! Only took video, and this is a very bad screenshot!


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



This boon looked like he'd had a rough night!

The pic of the water and sun rays is beautiful

Another leopard

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

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

Simply love those Satara sunsets

Thanks Flutterby

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

Thanks Lis, yes the S100 can be very frustrating!

The S100 seems to be good on alternate days!

Thanks Pumbaa. We always do the S100 a couple of times...just in case!

On the S41.

On the S41 we found 3 young male lions.




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