14 June, Croc Bridge - Malelane Gate

We'd come to the end of our trip. :-( We decided to head along the S25 and leave at Malelane Gate.

This was the only morning we had a proper sunrise.

This Verreaux's Eagle-owl was making a lot of noise.

When we got to the H3, there were a few cars stopped. There was a mating pair of lions but the bush was so thick it was almost impossible to see them. :no: We then decided to take the S110 loop and found some buffs.

We hadn't seen any rhino during our trip and it was only on this last drive that we finally had two sightings somewhere along the way!! ^Q^ ^Q^

And that was the end of the trip. :-( We had seen lions everyday, cheetah, wild dogs and leopard, and some new birdies....a good trip in anyone's book, I'm sure!! ^Q^ ^Q^

A nice sunrise, and one gets the impression you didn't want to leave and drove extra loops? :twisted:

Thanks BC. The Brat goes back to Italy in August (and I will probably go with him) so no plans for anymore Kruger trips at the moment. :no:
