From Pumbaa in 2015:

we finally stood on the parking area of Shitlhave dam, also one of those magic places in Kruger where you can simply spend hours in standing and watching and we had luck that there were so many animals around when we arrived – Lots of impalas, waterbucks and Egyptian goose



and even a juvenile saddle billed stork were either quenching its thirst or foraging in the water for something to eat



and some others were only day dreaming.



Two impala rams started a fight and we had a great time in looking from left to right and right to left not to miss something.



Lots of “Mr. Rights” could be seen looking around for some ladies whereas





others must got already the brush off.



A rhino who we did not realize earlier and which must have laid in the water got attracted by the arrival of a new group consisting of three rhinos and started to investigate the new arrivals excessively.



A waterbuck lady with her young one came also to take a drink – I love to spend time on a hot summer’s day at a waterhole as normally there is always something to be seen.

A few gazillion buffalo at the dam yesterday!

If you look carefully you can see them streaming past the cars at the distant parking spot too!
