Re: A quick 2x2 to relieve stress.
Day 3 - Part 1/32.
As this was our last day we were up early and decided to do the Dithabeng Road.
Early morning giraffe.
Next, a first ever for us. He/she was not very co-operative for a photograph. This was the best we could get.
Seven minutes later we spot this lioness trying to hide and spy on some giraffe.
She then started stalking them but the giraffe had spotted her. We waited and watched as the giraffe ran off away from us so after a while we lost sight of her so moved on.
Eight minutes later we came across her youngsters waiting patiently for her to return with breakfast.
A few minutes later Mom returned without breakfast.
Mom then seemed to find something interesting in the tree but eventually gave up.
One of the youngsters decided it was time to catch up on some sleep.
We found some Red-billed Oxpecker scratching in the bark of a dead tree.
At Ratlhogo Dam another African Green-Pigeon.
Part 2/3 to follow.
