For sure we paid a final visit at Duke’s and found a sandpiper and a three banded plover there and for sure photographed the knob billed duck ladies
who obviously had a get together
as there were so many of them around and we had a great time in taking close up shots.
We spotted a martial eagle, however, a bit too far away and came across a lot of bathing elephants which was indeed no wonder
as it was a hot day – Needless to say that all the elephants had their fun in taking a bath and also here we stayed quite a while as it is always a pleasure to watch bathing elephants.
We stopped again on the Lower Sabie causeway, paid a final visit at the camp itself and then it was already time to also say good bye to Sunset dam and we today had great fun in observing a grey heron on its private movable island
and to photograph one of the uncountable crocodiles
and for sure watching the grey heron floating by and after a long time we spend here
we made our way back to camp and that drive was indeed extreme quiet as we only spotted a couple of warthogs
and a kori bustard until we returned to Biyamiti and took a long break from driving and simply enjoyed the remaining time we were allowed to stay in this magnificent camp.
So we were only in the mood for a short afternoon drive which leaded us once again into the direction of the Biyamiti causeway during our drive we came across a woodland kingfisher
and waterbucks.
For sure we checked out whether the lion was still there but obviously he had chosen another spot or stayed out of sight as we did not notice him but his kill was still there. We turned around as we wanted to drive a bit into the other direction of the S25 but we still had to observe the many white fronted bee eaters nesting in holes in the wall of the river bed before and
needless to say that the noise level was extreme high there.
