And I almost ran over these peculiar insects which turned out to be Gregarious Spotted Cockroaches (another name for Victor to moan about).

We were too early to check in so we rode around the myriad of roads around PK.

We saw a family of dwarf mongoose playing on the side of the road and this one posed quite nicely for us.

To us it looked like this one was feeding a youngster or what was going on?????????????

After lunch we took a ride around the ring roads. No animals around so we concentrated on the small guys.

Could this be a Yellow-breasted Pipit???????? Looking at its status map it is not found in Kruger.

Black Crake.

Image

Yellow-fronted canary.

Joan has never taken a photograph of a frog before so when I asked her to take a photo of this guy all she said was " WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT????????" I said to her that it would make quite a nice photo. My request was granted.
