Quite a selection, Rog!
Lots of animals enjoying the great morning light, and a nice comfortable ellie sighting!
Interesting the cheetah there with the exotic trees in the background!
My favourite is the leguaan in the tree!

Wonderful Elephant experience
The other elephants have chosen some not so shady trees
Nice cheetah again

Catching up here… and found some really nice sightings, but moreover, a lot of great photos!
I love the colours and the crispness of them! What kit do you use?

Think this has helped the youngest rugrat partially get over her fear of them a bit .

The next morning we entered early to drive to our stay at Tamboti
Our first sighting was a Lion in the distance
This Ground hornbill was waking in the shade as the temperature was rising quickly
We found this Giraffe drinking
This Lion had found some shade in the riverbed .
These Ellies were taking a mudbath in Kumana Dam
A young Gnu family was in the shade close to Tamboti
After unpacking and sorting out the tent we went out for a late evening Drive and found this Jackal scouting around
Then we spotted a Leopard in the bushes unfortunately with the light and distance this was the clearest shot we could get
The sun set and we lit our first braai at Tamboti
