The Alfmaster at work for AW*

[Alf]

Thank you all. It was an amazing experience and an amazing weekend. We left Shingwedzi with pride and only then i said to SO that all my work are done so now i can relax and have an ice cold

We drove out at the back gate and crossed the river thinking this whole area were under water with the floods



Then at the tar road i turned left and went back to the high level bridge where we saw this tusker which were very far away



Turned around again and took the S56 i think that run along the river. This must be the best road in the whole KNP





At first we thought this buffalo were dead



But then he got up



And then finally we arrived at heaven





Sirheni is my absolute favorite camp

We got unit no 15, unpacked and enjoyed peace and quiet. Only 3 units occupied for the night.



Our view of the dry river, so sad that SP won't rebuild the dam wall





View of no 14



No 15 stoep


Elephants in the river infront of cottages 9 and 10

There was water in front of n° 9 and 10

Nice bateleur

[Alf]

Yes Lis and at the boma next to no 1

[Lisbeth]

So the river was dry, but there were some wet spots

[Alf]

Most places it's dry, only a few places with pools of water. So sad to see as I remember in 2011 the river were full and i was sitting on the stoep of cottage 1 watching the crocodiles swim past

[Lisbeth]

No animals coming drinking. How sad

[Toko]

Lovely kudu bull

Sirheni dam had been very dry during the winter months also the previous years with only some pools left, nonetheless there are almost every day elephants and buffaloes around.

Nice, Alf!

That S-56 is a very pretty road!


That tusker hangs around there permanently!

[nan]

wow nr 15 is the best... and the S56 also

but a little bit more water would be nice

[Mel]

What a nice view you had from your unit. I share the sentiment that it's a real pity there was no water to attract more animals.
But at least it must have been nice and quiet with only 3 units occupied for that night.
