Africa Wild

The new gnu is very sweet. Just love the way ellie moms watch over their sleeping babies.

as the card machines were down ...

I never enter Kruger without cash, because the ATMs are mostly offline

The family life of the elephants is fascinating

Is that a wound on the thigh of the baby gnu

Ja, the new gnu seems to have had a scrap?

The baby ellies conk out in the heat, saw a whole bunch like that last October!

Gorgeous little ellie taking a rest plus baby wildebeest and wild dogs

Yes we were quite worried but it did move a little and it was very very hot and dry

was very different this year from last with the ellies they were much calmer (hotter) we could stop opposite them and observe without any fear.

Luckily in KNP especially on the camps we were in you can shoot out to the local towns if needed .
Looked like the GNU had survived its first life challenge

Thanx

So we reached the Dam again it was midday and the heat was easily in the 40's

Some Giraffe were leaving the dam with a lone bull ellie in tow






The Ellie was giving himself a hot dust bath as he walked off


The Girraffes suddenly took off and as my mind wondered what had happened I relised it was the only way for them to get up the steep path




A breeding heard arrived at the opposite bank to get some relief from the heat


We left with the aircon on full and did not see anything else moving in the heat along the dirt .Making our way back onto the Tar ....

Beautiful photos of giraffes and zebras and giraffes and ellies

very tiny Zebra

Lovely pics at the waterhole!!

Wonder what was on the tar!

Wonderful waterhole activity, Roger
