It is the most we have seen together anywhere .Obviously they were cubs but all seemed quite old and well developed so most will survive O:V

So not far away we found a

Image

And we continued our quest for the perfect pic of a Roller
Image

This ellie was cooling off with a mudbath
Image

This Kudu doe had allot of growths that looked painful
Image

Coming back onto the tar road we found the tail .We waited and watched the tail .This tail will feature few times in the TR will we ever discover the owner of the tail ;-)
Image

We left the tail and found two Male lions close to the road in the shade - it was quite hot by this time .We were first there and it quickly became a traffic jam so we moved off to go to camp and book a night drive and for some reason we only have pics of the one Male possibly the other one was lying in the shade :-?
Image

We went to Orpen and booked the drive .

So after booking the night drive we went to the shops to get some water but they were out of stock so we decide to drive through to Satara as we had time before the night drive .

The tail had moved between the time we left and returned O/

Image

A flock /group of vultures was on the ground in the shade we could not see any reason for them being there they just seemed to be in the shade -O-

Image

After stopping in at Satara and getting water we stopped at Nsemani and watched the ellies playing in the dam

Image

These two were playing push me push you

Image

And eventually the victor had a celebration splash

Image

We skipped the traffic jam still at the two Male lions this time much to the surprise of the rest who were busy in the scrum for best position

Back by Orpen some buffs were getting their fill
Image

We returned to the camp road to do supper and get ready for the night drive .On the way we found a new Zebra

The tail looks like the one of a Lemur, but living only in Madagascar..... O** Too thin for a genet, but not many alternatives :-?

I love the ellies in the water O/\ O/\

The pic of the roller looks great \O
