Strange to be watching such dry scenes now in December!

Still my favourite time of year, though!

Certainly lots of oxpeckers on the giraffe!

And what an office, Rog!

[Pumbaa]

What amazing wild dog sighting

and lions and many more wonderful shots

Thanks Roger

Splendid wild dog sighting

Oh, and such a cute squirrel. Wish they occured in the KTP as well.

(Coffee and pizza is a wild combination )

[Lisbeth]

You have the ground squirrels in KTP and they are not bad either

[RogerFraser]

Giraffes and zebras together out in the open, makes an unusual coloured impression

Squirrel!

Lovely pic of the starling

From Nkumbe you have a vast view on......nothing, which can be very relaxing and did not distract your concentration from the e-mails

Being winter they did stand out a lot

Yes the Pizza was actually quite good we got the Coffee first then while waiting we saw they were open in the Pizza side decided to get the Pizza I see there is now a Cattle Barron that has setup and built a big deck in Satara since our visit .

Close to Lower Sabie we found some very red Piggies .Seems they had found a clay hole to roll in .


We found some more pretty big birds


Crossing the Bridge we found some large reptiles


And an egret


After a brief stop at Lower Sabie we stopped by Sunset dam and SO took picks of the Kingfisher .


and a hippo surfer


After a while we left to drive down to Crocodile Bridge we had just passed the bridge turnoff when we noticed some activity on the oposite bank .What is that we pulled over and found


They were walking on the opposite bank then suddenly




They were watching something and crossing over .By this time we had attracted and huge following of vehicles spread out along the road watching them and we started trying to hopscotch the traffic to keep up with them


eventually it became apparent they were hunting and they mostly hid into some reeds and we basically lost sight of them


Cars were moving around up and down and the Impala close to the road picked up something and alerted and they all ran over the road the Lioness in the reeds stood up realizing they had been seen


Suddenly a Lioness appeared in front of us she was obviously the one who was supposed to have come around to chase the Impala back towards the others .We had not even seen her before she popped out onto the road .


Not an expert on Lion body language but we pretty sure there was some swearing going on .


The others in the reeds all got up and started to move abandoning their hunt for now


These were the most active Lions we had seen in the day time ... so far this trip

We decided to carry on our way to travel down the S28 to Croc Bridge and then onto Marloth ...

[Lisbeth]

Great sighting with "live" lions

[Mel]

The lions kinda don't look too comfortable in the water

[Richprins]

Nice, Rog!

It is interesting all the various soil colours in the Park reflected on wallowers...red in this case!

Looks overcast again?

Love to spend time on the Lower Sabie causeway and watch the crocodiles, Roger

and what a fantastic lion sighting - Lovely to see crossing the river
