We had a nice small braai and sat outside that evening . Unfortunately did not take any pics .Later the following day we read about a Predator warning in the area that night
The following morning we left early heading over to enter at Malelane for a drive then going to the shops to get some more supplies . The gate was not too busy when we go there and soon we were in .
A stunning Kruger sunrise was our reward for the early start '
It was too early for some who were still resting
We found some Ground hornbills and only noticed the two sleeping Jackals when they started to react to them on the pan .
We headed up past Gardenia hide and found some puppies .
and a mongoose
We carried on the S114 towards Biyamiti weir .

Re: Marloth break in July
Thank you Pumba -Was a really special sunrise .
Very red probably due to pollution in the air but very red
The hornbills are always fun to watch for a while they have character

Re: Marloth break in July
At Biyamti a duck
It was scenic as ever
A little croc was bathing
We carried on not seeing anything else .After stopping at Afsaal we did another loop around the S118.
A giraffe was eating lunch.
A bit further along there was a flash of Black and White ahead and then we realised what it was grabbing the camera we shot a few pics through the windscreen before they disappeared into the grass .
We left to Malelane shops then back to Marloth to meet my Sister and brother in law.

Re: Marloth break in July
Every time I have been around there the road to the Biyamiti Weir has been closed
Not one but two Honey badgers
The old giraffe is not only eating, he is also being eaten
