Back from my last Kruger trip.
The south of the park is still very dry. Most of the waterholes don't have water.
Two pictures of Kumana Dam, completely dry, taken yesterday :

3 Elephants playing in the water
"Lots of zebra, waterbuck, impala and baboons drinking. A fish eagle sitting on the ground on the opposite bank. Lovely to view it all on a hot day."

Great interaction between lions and buffalo in front of our deck at Buckler's Africa across the river. Lion chasing buffalo, buffalo chasing lions. Buffaloes survived to live another day. Our guests left Buckler's Africa with a happy heart!

Leachy says very dry in the Central Region, almost as though all rain stopped at the Olifants River!
