29 March 2010

We decided to see how far we could go North from our campsite at Letaba .On the way back we decided to do the loop.

We found a small bakkie being escorted backwards down the road by a little ellie .


We stopped and as they got closer we relised our perspective was totally out it was a big Ellie and a big Bakkie.



The Ellie grew tired of the game and decided to move off the road .



Further on we found some of these




It was a good trip around the loop

We always drive this loop when staying at Mopani. In March the waterhole were already dry and for our first time not many animals around, very sad as this is the only water hole in the area
