Hunting cannot be considered a sport as all contestants in a sport should know they are playing the game!

Shipene

Just one day in Kruger and a great sighting late afternoon (March 29th) When I saw him I was almost sure it was SHIPENE.
But.... He normally roams the area north of Shingwedzi , even up to Punda Maria area and now.. :-? Just North of Letaba, between Letaba and Mopani , north of the bridge near Letaba. A real traveller but first time he went down so far. After checking the pictures 100% sure it is SHIPENE.
Now I also understand the remarks of some tusker friends about not seeing him in the North anymore.

Pictures made around 5 PM with great sunset light.

Two days after meeting Shipene and just arrived in Shingwedzi my great friend MANDZEMBA appeared in the Shingwedzi riverbed.
It was very early in the morning , we left camp at 6 AM , turning right and from the bridge I could make these pictures.

7th time I met him so for me he is one of the special ones. I remember I saw him first in 2009 and was sure he would be a big tusker later on. Other "experts" just said , no, not an emerging tusker.... in 2018 these "experts" recognized him as tusker ..... lol lol

So, not a joke but April 1st I saw him again.

I like this picture where he is part of the environment , his "home".
