Next morning , we left the camp early , with the intention to drive down one of our really favourite roads , the S 52 , via Red Rocks , and then have a brekkie at Tsange Lookout lol
Right outside the camp gate , these two Pied Wagtails were warming up in the early morning sun .

And on another branch of the same tree , a Fish eagle was also contemplating the world around him .

and a ground hornbill strutted through the grass in search of breakfast

We were hoping to see the dogs again , and thought that they may have crossed the Shingwedzi river , so the S52 would be a good area to look for them .

Such a large pack of dogs have to catch prey often , and I had an idea that the dogs may have caught something last night , and then it would probably not go very far to rest up the next day , so the S52 sounded good .
And I was right , soon after us crossing the low-water bridge , we found them O\/
There they were , right next to the road , lying scattered in little groups of two's and three's , just lazing around , and generally dozing , sleeping, wiling the time away O/\ .

I finally managed to catch up on your travel tale here and must say that the intro had me quite entertained lol
My SO would feel the same about having to dress up for dinner and such :twisted:

Kruger looks a bit wet... Nice sightings though! Best of all are the wild dogs, of course O\/
Especially the second sighting of the pack \O


God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Yes indeed , we were very lucky ;-) And every time we saw the dogs , there were no other vehicles around lol

And here again , they were right next to the road , scattered over an area spread about 50 meters or so .
