Africa Wild

It is Always a must for us to stop there and the Bonus is that both hides are so close together

Thanks Richprins, simply love that area and normally lots of birdies around

At the hide entrance there were all sorts of fresh spoor!


RP: "So Borderline, when are you seeing a doctor about those horrific feet?"

BL: "Stop bodyshaming, you bitch!"



The entrance!





Very nice!

The water was limpid!




BL: "What are limpuid?"


And a lifer for me, maybe! A Pygmy Kingfisher!




Not much else was going on, so we continued in high spirits up the Shongololo loop on our Adventure!

A bit further up is the turnoff to Boulders camp, next to the Mopane airstrip!



A strange Sanparks bakkie looking like an ambulance came out there, the first humans we had seen that entire morning! (In fact we only saw one other car for the next 2 hours) so we speculated whether Kruger sends a vehicle out on these remote northern roads every few days to pick up the remains of lost tourists?


RP: "So Borderline, when are you seeing a doctor about your ugly bony hands? "

BL: "$%$$& etc."

One goes up along the virgin Tzenze River north of the Dam, and it does run out of water eventually, but lots of loops and pools!

We got lost a lot but didn't care! So pleasant was it!




On one of the loops a steenbok lady was found with all-round viewing access!

And she into the light, ag shame!

Your pygmy kingfisher is a nice scoop

What a pity that the roads were flooded when I was there, those two hides have beautiful views ...and kingfishers and most likely many other birds that you did not bother to take pics of

PJL's photos are never over-exposed

PJL's camera is worth more than my house!

Maybe not quite, but you have a valid point there

Simply love that area, Richrprins, and great that you spotted that kingfisher there

some lovely scenic shots

Nice area to get lost in .
