Pumba

Then close to Nhlanguleni Picnic Spot we got a before and after shot :

Before :


After:


.One of the other visitors at the picnic spot advised us there was some Wild dogs about 2km further down the road .

We left and carried on towards tshokwane and found the Wild Dogs very easily ...as there was a car stop by them already





We spent some time enjoying their playful antics




Some more cars arrived so we decided to move on.

We found some Ostriches


A kori bustard walk alongside us for a bit on the H10


Just before we stopped at Lower Sabie we watched the Giant Kingfisher on the bridge

Interesting before and after shot

Always fantastic when wild dogs do come across

Also stunning bird shots

The buffalo managed to grow some extra horns after it died!

Great wild dog sighting.

Clever buffalo pics, Rog!

And wild dog, with a youngster?!

The kingfisher is a Pied, methinks!

Horns of a kubufdo

Wild dogs are always lying on top of each other

Wild dogs are always special to see

Beautiful shot of the kingfisher

Great wild dog sighting.

Its been amazing we spent some years without ever seeing wild-dog until we deliberately went to find them , now every visit we stumble onto them

I recon they have to stick close as when they get up they start running if they not close they get left behind

After the stop at Lower Sabie we carried on towards croc bridge .We came across this Malachite kingfisher a bit far but you can still make out the colors .Wishing for a longer lens ...



We came across some flat Lion sighting over theeeeer .Took a quick out of focus pic and moved on



This tawny was finishing off his pigeon lunch when we spotted him


We found this dung beatle with a swarm of helper fly's assisting him to just keep rolling along


On the Gezantombi waterhole bride we spotted this little guy sticking his head out



Some Ellies were filling up.


We exited at went back to Marloth ....
