Day 2. Sunday 27 July 2013. Sanbonani.

We arrived at Phabeni Gate just before it opened only to find a massive queue of cars, so it was off to Kruger Gate again where we entered the park with no delay.

A little later I found my first subject, a very relaxed Giant Kingfisher.

Then some Bushbuck ewes

and a dainty lamb

A very kind fellow told us to take the next left and we would see....









DOGGIES!!!!!!

They were so full of food they looked like they were about to pop :shock:

Image

Here is the Boss and his Lady, they were inseparable.

He was whispering sweet nothings in her ear.
Image

They both got up and started scent marking

Image

Another was having a roll in the grass

I suspect the female was in season and he was protecting his interests!

I wasn't quick enough to get the buck with its guitar and harmonica -O

It was a good move but it changed our plans a bit, I had intended to drive the S3 without the sun in my eyes but I'm glad I missed out on the jostling JJs.

Doggie sightings are ALWAYS awesome! X#X
