Enjoying The Kruger Without Staying In The Park

The banded martin is rather out of range there, but maybe that's why it looks so forlorn and with birds you never know

Phew, this runs way too fast for a stranger

I do like those "stones" on the way to Masorini! They do look rather fascinating and make for interesting photos

What magic did you use on that second francolin shot a couple pages or so ago? Looks good! $\O$

It started by mistake and then I went a bit further

This trip must at least hit 100 pages

We will see at the end

What about a bet between all of us now, when we really have no idea where we'll end up?

Again, Sis, your scenic/flower pics are really lovely - it's always nice to be reminded that even when there's "nothing there", there is PLENTY there - beauty, serenity, power, subtlety, new sprouts juxtaposed against old giants, all rolled up into one...

Thanks for the reminder.

The Masorini info. is very interesting, and the butterfly on the yellow/orange flowers was a nice perk in the pic.

I haven't looked yet, but be sure to enter all your reptiles into the Challenge

All your comments are an extremely pleasant incentive to continue

First shot the next day was one of the many koppies, I simply cannot resist

Mel wants an elephant in front, but unfortunately, I cannot please her.

The elephant arrived a little later at Nandzana

together with a couple of zebras,

and a couple of Green Wood-Hopoes, which were a bit far away; the birds almost always are $0*\$

All of a sudden, as it often happens, an elephant appeared

it turned around and faced me

but he was much more interested in the bushes

I like this visit to Kruger, you show us the landscape with all the vegetation and koppies and this is after all what the bush is about
