Richprins' Escapades to Marloth

[Lisbeth]

Well done to Dwarf

An elephant It must have crossed the river

[Pumbaa]

Beautiful butterflies, Richprins

and nice to spot an elephant as well so close to the fence

[Richprins]

They were right at the fence!

With hippos behind!

A little family group:

It is quite unnerving being so close to them on foot....the fence is flimsy and I doubt that the electricity works...

[Richprins]

Gloser....

And gloser!

But no problems really, and eventually they moved on!

The fence actually stops there to let a stream through anyway...

Quite a fun experience, although we were a bit tired of ellies having watched them for hours in Kruger the day before!

[Lisbeth]

Not much water in the river, so easy to cross

[Pumbaa]

Indeed lovely ellie encounter at the fence

[Richprins]

There was another at a bit of fence that looked more sturdy! Quite a few locals arrived to have a look!

On the way home these 3 helmetshrikes were at last sitting still!

And a giraffe fleeing in terror!

[Richprins]

Back at home this pretty ant on the Devil's Flowers!

And the wild pear there in flower, they only do that for a little while in late winter...the rest of the year it is nondescript.

Sorry for the short episode...the photos are finished for this visit and we went home!


Next Segment Pending!

[Lisbeth]

Elephants are not exactly seen very often in Marloth

Nice birdies

Was it Max and you scaring the life out of the poor giraffe?

[Richprins]

No the giraffe are just skittish sometimes!
