Kruger Diary 2012

[Bush Brat]

Thanks for all the replies guys! My grandpa was just here and of course we spent the day talking about our next trip to Kruger which will be in August next year!!
All this Kruger talking got me excited which pushed me towards the forum!

More pics......

Ellies and buffs in the Sabie river





These two were having a go at each other!



The LIT on the H10



Our pathetic excuse of a lion, but better than nothing!



These ellies were having a ball at Sunset Dam







The famous goshawk



Some type of eagle or kite (to lazy to ask my mom! )



Another fish eagle in the last rays of the sun



A beautiful sunset



And lastly, a hyena at the LS fence



Will be back with more tomorrow!

Those ellies were really having a ball!

[Lisbeth]

The ellies sure know how to have fun

[Bush Brat]

It's so funny and entertaining watching them play in the mud and out of all the times we have been to Kruger (besides this trip) we have never seen ellies really having a ball in the mud and in this trip we had 3 sightings of them in the mud!!
