You did freeze the Espandrilles, uhm, Esperantos, eish, Enchiladas... Esbanditos or whatever that dish is called...

Right? O-/

Like those two giraffes on the road and your hidden sun photos are nice too X#X

We left early next day...we always leave early when going home as the Dimwits miss their families! (Actually they are normally just angry! =O: )

All: "NO!"




An unmoosual angle! :shock:

This little one was shaggy but cute! He was nervous though, which is why the pic is a bit blurry.... :-(

Then he lost his mommy...CHAOS! 0*\

Back and happy, reunited! O/\

Just after Mopane...TWO tuskers together! :shock: :shock: :shock:



q.jpg

Aat is too useless to identify them...and the big one wouldn't move one inch! The year before we also saw a giant on the way out, Shikomu, and he didn't move a muscle either! 0-


q1.jpg




This must be a truck...and not at night either! O/




q2.jpg


The Dimwits vomited all over the car... O**


Our last predator! :-0 :-0 :-0



q4.jpg


Then our last sighting...a mentally defective juvenile bateleur! 0-

He was walking determinedly down the roadside on some mission or other. Normally there is roadkill or something, but not this one. Not scared of cars either. :-?


q6.jpg


These are very rare pics for my little Nipponese camela, as light was bad but filtered!


q7.jpg

A nice closeup showing the unique face colour! O/\

That roadkilled tortoise makes me so angry... @#$ 0=

Great Bateleur shots RP! \O Nice to see a couple of pics where i don't need eagle-eyes and a vivid imagination to make out the animal. =O: --00--

Disappointed that you can't get your Elephants identified though. They look like very big units. ^Q^

When is your next trip into the park? 0()
