Africa Wild

A super beach

You did see a few birds and antelopes In Addo it will be more and some biiiig ones

The outing on the river is fabulous. And that beach with the rocky coastline and the dunes look just great

the water seems so limpid

what an evening

I can just imagine lying there at the beach and staring at the water. Very relaxing and calming!

Nice boat trip at night with great sightings of the herons, kingfishers, the nyalas and the waterbuck.

Wish that I could jump overboard, right into my car and follow you for real,...

Hey H.E., you are more than welcome anytime.

That was one of the best beaches we have ever seen. We are having a great time with photographing all the animals, birds and landscapes. Looking forward to posting our Addo trip.

That's for sure Toko. Everything is working out just great and the weather is playing its part as well. Just finished three amazing days in Addo.

Hi nan. The water at Kenton for the days we were there was very calm and beautiful.

Hi Mel. Yers, that lying on the beach and staring out to sea was really tiring. Got home exhausted at night. The boat trip was amazing.

26 APRIL 2015 - DAY 11 - KENTON ON SEA TO ADDO ELEPHANT NATIONAL PARK - PART 1/2


Our arrival at South gate.



We had arranged to meet PJL and his son at Jacks Picnic Spot at 14:30 so we had time to take a slow drive up.

The first sighting was these guys not far from the gate.



Our first Addo ellie.



This must be one of the most photographed landscapes in South Africa.



A Leopard Tortoise crossing the road.



Two dagga boys giving each other the beady eye across the Marion Baree waterhole.





A male Kudu suddenly came galloping out of the bushes giving the one dagga boy quite a fright.



To be continued.

and now Addo

like the view over the ocean

a the muddy Buffalo

26 APRIL 2015 - DAY 11 - KENTON ON SEA TO ADDO ELEPHANT NATIONAL PARK - PART 2/2


Now we know why it is called Addo Elephant National Park.



We met PJL and his son at Jacks, had a good chat and then followed him around the Park for the rest of the afternoon. PJL also gave us all the ins and outs of what could possible be found where which was a great help.

Came across these Meerkats scampering around near Hapoor.



This guy acted like a traffic cop while the gang crossed the road.



At Zuurkop showing the vastness of Addo.



Late afternoon shot of a Southern Chanting Goshawk.



End of day 11.

Fantastic to get back to Addo through your eyes and lens! A really beautiful park and by the end of next week the latest,
I'll know if we will go back next year. Really beautiful there and your scenery photos are grand! Lots of familiar faces animal-wise too.

It was great meeting you and Joan the other day and enjoying some time together in the park. I think I might need a copy of my scribblings on your map for future use based on your sightings

Can't wait to see the next couple of instalments... without giving too much away
