Does not matter if there are two. They are both in the index.
One is H9 and the other is S51

When we continued to Sable Hide we went on the side road that takes you to the dam on the opposite side of the hide.
We decided to sit there for a bit.
We didn't see much but we did see a cute nursery of 5 baby impalas sleeping on each other.
So then we drove to the hide itself, we scanned and we saw a hooded vulture drinking but it was too far to take a picture of.
But this beautiful eagle made a great picture.
Then when I was scanning to the right, where we just were a few minutes ago, I saw movement.
I looked through the binos and there was a herd of dagga boys coming down to drink.
It's amazing how quickly things change, I mean we were just there with impala only and a few minutes later there's is a herd of buffalo.

We went on a midday drive not expecting much in the heat of the day so we decided to visit Sable Dam Hide again.
We arrived and we were the only ones there.
We were just relaxing and waiting when we saw a elephant coming down to cool off.
He was scratching its self on the tree in the middle.
He was scratching all over.
And then put its trunk over its tusk which I have never seen an elephant do before.
Afterwards Ground Hornbills came and started digging for food.
At around 1:30pm we headed back to the camp to get an afternoon rest.
We took a low maintenance road on the way:
This was the closest we got to a lion. Try and find it...

Some Klipspringertjies on the way to Sable Dam.
A good spot by one of our guests in the shrubs next to the parking spot by the hide - a Greater Spotted Cuckoo:
And a Sabota Lark not wanting to move from next to the car... Proud of this photo - I had to make it because Duco was on the wrong side of the car.
Of course the Klipdassies said hello too:
We arrived at the gate with 7 minutes to spare. We spent the next 2 nights with friends at our favorite accommodation in Phalaborwa. Day 2 would see us doing a Safari into the park...
