Africa Wild

Well done to Dwarf

An elephant It must have crossed the river

Beautiful butterflies, Richprins

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

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...

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!

Not much water in the river, so easy to cross

Indeed lovely ellie encounter at the fence

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!

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!

Elephants are not exactly seen very often in Marloth

Nice birdies

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

No the giraffe are just skittish sometimes!
