Africa Wild

impressive Elephant and Rhino

and the Cheetahs are still here, waiting for you

Yeah security at gates

Very poor

The security at the gates is, has and been will always beva problem if they do not start CONTROLLING who controls

Now I can see the cheetahs

Nice, that short grass area south of Afsaal!

Were the trucks coming in our out, Rog?

Wonderful cheetah sighting, Roger,

plus ellies, rhino and stunning kudu portrait

Given the current issues the gates would be the obvious first weak point to get under control in my book

trucks were going out after probably being inside the park for the whole day doing deliveries .

So with the sun starting to dip down low we came across a Jnr Zee



and then a whole bunch of big uns on the move grazing and quite active









The sun was dipping down and light was fading for photos


Another Zee was trying to catch the rest of his mates


We battled to get a clear pic of the Kruger summer icon


And the sun slipped away



As was customary on a game drive the lights would not turn on we sat on a bridge while the driver checked the fuses and connection but alas no lights

Luckily we knew this would happen as it has on most of our drives we had brough some of our LED tourches so we were able to use them for the drive back to the gate .It did not seem to bug any of the foreign tourists as they were only taking selfies

we got back to camp and started our late braai .....

no light for a night drive
what a pity

nice bunch of Rhinos
and the Roller

You do not often see so many rhinos together and moreover moving around

I am not care much about night drives

Melting tar? That was HOT!

Bad news about the gate security!

Sunset/night drives are not my favourite activities in the park, and if the lights aren't working then they are pointless!
