And then the rain set in or at dusk the bush comes alive

Lovely sightings of the rhino, klipsringers and lioness!

Indeed we were more than happy with all that sightings we had so far

[Pumbaa]

Great luck again, Pumbaa! The klipspringer setting is so peaceful...

They were so relaxed and we had such a great time in photographing them

Rhinos, klipspringers and a lioness

And it got even better

[Pumbaa]

A wonderful klipspringer sighting And the lioness is a beauty too

Her husband was also a Beauty - quite handsome

[Pumbaa]

She still walked closer and closer to where we stood



and finally joined him as he was already waiting for her



and then they moved together away.





He followed her as she obviously started to smell heavenly



but so far they only settled under the next bush and nothing happened.



We scanned the area a bit and discovered right at Renosterkoppies under a bush directly at the waterhole another lion but same was far too far away and the air started already to flicker due to the heat.



Our couple so far enjoyed the shade under the bush





and needless to say that meanwhile a lot of cars especially safari vehicles arrived and parked nearly everywhere but as it was enough space and the lions were very good visible from nearly everywhere it was no problem.

[Pumbaa]

Meanwhile it heated up even more and the couple was meanwhile lying in the sun



and decided to change their position again



and unfortunately now walked right into a bush totally out of sight for us and also the other lions were lying flat on the ground somewhere in the shade and could no longer be seen



but the view is always breathtaking especially with the clear blue sky.



With the lions out of sight we simply turned our head around and could now notice a rhino mom plus youngster, impalas and warthogs who wanted to quench their thirst





a pity was that only a small runlet was remaining in the waterhole and all of them had to made some effects to reach the precious water.



It was such a wonderful morning with what we already saw and it was a wonderful place to stay.





After we now stayed over an hour and all animals had gone their way we drove directly to Skukuza without coming across anything else to make a small break their and whilst doing so we noticed at the bird bath at the reception area a very wet red-billed fire finch.
