Wow a lucky Kruger visitor finds a civet in the field

Lovely light on the rhinos

wow a Civet (a Civet Cat like they say)... not usual to see
like the Rhino in the sun and the sleeping one
for the Fish Eagle ... not blurred enough

Great sighting of the civet. Not easy to find them (and get pics) during the day. Nice rhino sightings too.

Wonderful sightings, Roger,

from cheetah, over lions to rhinos and even a civet

Lovely sightings including a rare black-dressed blonde good looking young woman....

Very rare to get daytime civet, Rog!

Looks like one only needs to drive around the camp and the bridge all day!

not far from the camps but lots of luck on the bridges this time

So the following day was a late awake day as it was the day to get into the Park .

The hoardes had started to leave and we managed to get a two spots in Malelane camp site .

We spent most of the day packing and cleaning the house in Marloth ,hitching up the Van to the Landy then driving through ,checking in and setting up camp too later my sister and her SO visited us at Malelane and collected the house keys on their way out from a few days at Balule Camp and overnighting at Skuks ...

arround 2:30 we finally got out on our first drive from the inside ..

We found a impala after a long hard search on our way to the S118


Travelling along in the heat there was not much moving .I glanced up to the right and there it looked back at me ...









After a few moments the Leopard relised that it was not invisible as it thought ...


It skulked off into the bushes . We carried on the loop and found nothing else around due to the heat . We decided to travel back to Berg en Dale to get some firewood and braai the first night in camp. That night not long after dark a herd of Ellies grazed right down the fence line and made our first night at Malelane very memorable . We quickly decided to move our gazebo off the fence

Lovely pic of the impies resting in the shade

A beautiful leopard and an interesting photo, but Is there a reason why you have posted 5 pics of it?

Didnt have much proof of anything else for the days activities ,was too dark to get the ellies hanging over the fence eating the shrubs
