Browns in Kruger - August 2020 (JHB Clan)

[Pumbaa]

Caught up, Supernova,

and must say already more than fantastic lion as well as leopard sightings and shots but also love the hyenas and the ellie herd at Gesanftombi

What a more than fantastic trip you had

[Supernova]

I think the hippo has been in a fight and is on its way out, SN!

Lovely hyena...also don't know what Cailey's pic is...baboon?

We also though so, but was gone when we headed past that way later

[Supernova]

It is understandable that the leopard jumped down, that branch can't have been very comfortable Nice sighting though

Lisbeth: How and why the leopard balanced on that small branch is anybody's guess

[Supernova]

That bushbaby is well camouflaged... at least it appears in that frame.

Really tried to get a pic of the bushbaby eating but those things are so fast, i missed every time

29th August 2020

We spent the morning in Marloth park checking out the local game and exploring the surroundings and entered the park at about 09h30 and took the S25 /S108 / H5 loop.

We found this small tusker

And some lions on the H5

and a Tortoise in the dry - we usually only see them in the rain

For the afternoon drive we went back to the H5 looking for the lions but they had moved – we found them just off the H4-2 on a small loop.

They were not going anywhere so we took a drive up towards Lower Sabie.

It was one of those grey cloudy days and nothing much was moving about, so we turned back and went to spend the rest of the afternoon with the lions

Good stuff all round, SN!

Interesting to potter around Marloth.

Nice tusker there, put it up on the thread!

And a magnificent lion!

[Lisbeth]

Those lions are two different ones, right?

Nice ellie, but as you say it is a small tusker

Catching up again .

Not a healthy Hippo

Flat lions then upright Lions .

That Leopard is on the smallest branch

the little Hyenas they always fun to watch
