Beautiful River view

A leopard is always a good sighting

Funny to see the hippo and the croc side by side

You have a very good appreciation of lighting for pics, stf!

Well done on the leopard!

Ja, adult hippo don't really care about crocs if they don't have calves, otherwise their days would be constantly unpleasant!

You must put the pic of the tucker up on aat's thread, my boy?

A lovely pic of the Letaba River!

And a leopard on your sunset drive....how lucky!

Btw, I put on pants when I climb trees...

I just love the view of the Letaba river and that Leopard is just awesome

Funny thing is we saw more leopard than lion this time.

05 June 2018 - Part 1/2.

Not sure which goshawk this is.



Seen from Matambeni hide but did not stay long as the wind was blowing a gale and ice cold.

Spurwing Goose all in a row.



Lazy crocs soaking up the morning sun.



We were going to have brunch here but it was too darn cold and windy so went to Letaba restaurant.



A cool drink on a cold day at Shipukuyila Pan.



Emerald-spotted Wood-Dove.



There was not much water in the pan so we were not sure if this hippo was alive or not but then it blinked an eye and twitched an ear so all was ok.



Seen on the S47.

To be continued.

05 June 2018 - Part 2/2.

We are now on the S47 next to the Letaba River. A road with a lot of promise but again we did not see much.



So after a very long and boring ride we joined the H1-6 and rode up the H15 where we turned around and headed back to Letaba. We stopped in the Letaba bridge to photograph this handsome fellow.



A kind gentleman stopped next to us and told us to have a look on the other side of the bridge. So we moved over and saw this fellow scurrying around.





A lovely river viewing point off the Letaba river road.



These Maribu stork were making one hell of a racket as they all fought for the best sleeping position.



This guy came swooping in over our car.



Finally for today.

Great sighting of the honey badger!

I believe you see less game when it is cold.

Lots of sightings, stf!

Nice to have a long view of a badger!

That is a huge warthog!

Where is that pan exactly?

Love the sceneries!
