Day 4. Shingwedzi -> Pafuri -> Shingwedzi.

Today we decided to go to Pafuri, a drive of 90kms each way so we made sure we were up and ready to go with all of the breakfast stuff packed as the gate opened.

My teeth were hanging out again by the time we got there as we had a couple of really good sightings.

We started off with a BBJ sighting



Buffalo were everywhere, we saw several groups ranging from 20-30 to a hundred or so.



Then, just before Babalalalalala we got really lucky with my personal favourite



and at Dokweni water hole we got lucky again



We made a quick stop at Klopperfontein dam which was more of a mud hole



On the dirt road to the picnic spot there were a few bones from a recent kill that were being picked over by some vultures

Lappet Faced Vulture



Whitebacked Vulture



and Hooded Vulture



At the picnic spot I found some bugs

Not sure what this is, maybe a type of Assassin Bug



And some sort of Weevil



On the dustbin I found a Jumping Spider




On the way back we stopped at Babalalalala again as spied this possible tusker at the water hole.

My teeth would also be hanging out with those sightings

Awesome stuff

So, I counted 2 honey badgers and about 10 lions... not to forget about the rest...

A honey badger in the wild is great and the "clan" of lions is not bad either I love your "Macro" pics
