For the drive we entered at Croc bridge and went along the S25 our first sighting was a five legged elephant bull
A bit further along the road we watched the Martial eagle drinking at the water hole
Some Geese were having a bath of sorts in the water as well
We came across some Vultures and then notice a large gathering on the river bank but we could not find a clear patch to see what they were all gathered to eat
We turned up the H5 and found this Zebra who was playing King of the castle with the others it was quite a bit of fun to watch .
and this youngster that decided that mom was a good pillow
We carried on towards Lower Sabie and Sunset Dam

We arrived at Sunset dam and found this log floating around :
A kingfisher was watching the water
A heron was checking the reeds
The kingfisher saw something and hovered then dived in and flew off
We left and stopped in at Lower Sabie to refresh .We decided to drive down the S28 on the way out .
Along the way we found some paws sticking in the air
We did not have time to wait to see if the flat cats would become mobile as it was getting late so carried on and got to take a photo of the front of the roller
We found some more young Gnu's
And a lovely roadblock sighting
And also watched these two with their entourage of Egrit followers
We joined the queue of cars leaving the gate and got through just at closing time ...
