You did freeze the Espandrilles, uhm, Esperantos, eish, Enchiladas... Esbanditos or whatever that dish is called...
Right?
Like those two giraffes on the road and your hidden sun photos are nice too

Just after Mopane...TWO tuskers together!
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!
This must be a truck...and not at night either!
The Dimwits vomited all over the car...
Our last predator!
Then our last sighting...a mentally defective juvenile bateleur!

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.
These are very rare pics for my little Nipponese camela, as light was bad but filtered!
A nice closeup showing the unique face colour!

That roadkilled tortoise makes me so angry...
Great Bateleur shots RP!

Nice to see a couple of pics where i don't need eagle-eyes and a vivid imagination to make out the animal.
Disappointed that you can't get your Elephants identified though. They look like very big units.
When is your next trip into the park?
