Africa Wild

Great TR STF and photo's, just (green green that you are at Addo) now if you have seen a Caracal or Servile I will be even more (Greeeeeeeeeeen)

Addo is such a nice relaxing park. I liked it a lot and loving elephants.......

Kenton on Sea is a loving spot

Addo

I wonder what's next

Oi, I missed our arrival at Addo

Meerkat cuteness , two Mr. buffalo and a large herd of elephants plus panaramic views

Can't wait to see more Addorable Wildlife

Fascinating reading, stf! Thanks so much!


The rock pools with gobey and sand snail...can't remember the name, are a lot like Natal South Coast where I spent a lot of time!


Nice private beach!

A night drive on water...and nyala!

Those Addo buffs are very hairy! And a PJL sighting!

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.

Thanks Mel. My wife and I have fallen in love with Addo. It is an amazing park with fabulous landscapes and vivid colours. Tried to capture some of the wild flower clusters but no way could replicate the colours. We really hope you can get to go there next year.

Hi PJL. Thank you for the compliment. It was so nice to meet you and your son, who is going to be one great nature lover soon. You have no idea how accurate your scribblings you made on our map were. I have kept your map for our next visit.

Hey PRWIN, a very warm welcome on board and thank you so much for the great comments. About Caracal or Serval, you will just have to wait for the rest of the episodes.

Aaaah Lisbeth you are so right. A wonderful park with such gentle giants although we still tended to show our Kruger elephant nervousness.

Hi B.C.. You are right, Kenton is just soooooooo nice and the folk are so friendly as well.

Hi R.P. Thanks very much for your positive feedback. Gobey, is that what that little fish in the rock pool was. We used to call them Rock Ballies when I was a kid.

27 APRIL 2015 - DAY 12 - ADDO ELEPHANT NATIONAL PARK - PART 1/2


Our first sighting this morning was this orderly line up of Eland on the horizon.



Another horizon Eland.



An Eland with two Denenhams Bustards.



A huge old bull bringing up the rear.



A beautiful Bokmakierie greeting the morning with a song. Note his tongue adding to the tune.



A Black Backed Jackal snuffling around in the grass.



I thought this was the Common Fiscal but his tail is shorter. Can anyone help with a positive ID please?



A Cape Bulbul in a Spekboom bush.



Part 2 to follow.

27 APRIL 2015 - DAY 12 - ADDO ELEPHANT NATIONAL PARK - PART 2/2


One of Addos gentle giants. Too beautiful.



This fellow posed so nicely for us but we have no idea what it is. Please help with an ID.



A Kudu lying down in lovely green grass.



This green stick insect gave Joan a bit of fright at Spekboom Hide.



A nice big family of Warthog.



Whichever side you think is my best side you have it.



A Common Fiscal.



A member of the canary family I think. Please help with an ID. These are all new birds to me.



END OF DAY 12.

I think is a Fiscal Flycatcher

for the Canary.... could be a White-throated Canary
or better a Protea Seedeater
