After unpacking ,refueling and stocking up at the shop at Pretorius we went out for a quick drive before gate closing heading off to Shithave Dam as we had alot of luck there last trip .
Our first predator was trying to make a quick getaway across the road with its spotty camouflaged skin
We duly stopped and waited unit it had reached a safe position and then carried on to the dam.
Arriving at the dam we found it very full from the recent rains .Taking over half the car viewing area which I guess had expanded due to the lower water levels .
A stork was busy directing traffic or maybe just drying out its wings
It was quite fun to watch .
The only other mammals at the dam we saw were these very careful waterbuck
The sun was getting low and time was ticking to gate closing so we took a few landscape shots where you can see the level and left for camp.
The only other sighting we saw on the way back was a Waxbill cleaning up some bug splatter on the road .
.
I'd like to live closer to be able to do that. 
The ellie was pretty close
