as the card machines were down ...
I never enter Kruger without cash, because the ATMs are mostly offline O/

The family life of the elephants is fascinating ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^

Is that a wound on the thigh of the baby gnu :-?

:ty: was very different this year from last with the ellies they were much calmer (hotter) we could stop opposite them and observe without any fear.

Luckily in KNP especially on the camps we were in you can shoot out to the local towns if needed .
Looked like the GNU had survived its first life challenge :yes:

So we reached the Dam again it was midday and the heat was easily in the 40's

Some Giraffe were leaving the dam with a lone bull ellie in tow

Image

The Ellie was giving himself a hot dust bath as he walked off
Image

The Girraffes suddenly took off and as my mind wondered what had happened I relised it was the only way for them to get up the steep path
Image

Image

A breeding heard arrived at the opposite bank to get some relief from the heat
Image

We left with the aircon on full and did not see anything else moving in the heat along the dirt .Making our way back onto the Tar ....
