and then it was impala time again as a large group acted as roadblock

Image

but always when such a large group is coming across some victims had to be chosen for some close ups

Image

and as our days were meanwhile counted you never know if this might not be the last ones you will see during that trip...

Image

Image

We often experienced rain during our last days in the park as if same was not wanting us that we leave and this is always causing in quiet days although the park was drooling over the rain and same was more than badly needed but for us same was making the good bye always a bit heavier.

Image

A cute squirrel came across

Image

and even a speckled mousebird could be captured.

Image

A large herd of buffaloes stopped at a larger puddle which must had formed over night

Image

Image

and we had a great time in photographing the buffaloes with their naughty hitchhikers in form of lots of yellow-billed oxpeckers.

Image

Image

to be continued.....
