There is a general lack of serious supervisors in Kruger

Boon was very happy .

Cute chameleon. RP looks happy!

Was trying to avoid fingering R.P during his happy time

Disgraceful baboon!

while I agree that staff are not sole responsible but there is a general lack of accountability for most fields in S.A one would expect given the high security stance in KNP that this would be better and certainly a few random checks would have made me more at eese personally

After the boon we found this ellie hiding in the shade







At Renoster koppies a buff was seeking relief from the heat deep in the water trough



From the Hamilton memorial nothing much was moving



We headed back towards camp and found some ground hornbills again

Too hot for the animals

I can almost feel the heat in your pics!

And I can remember this heat also so very well - Nobody is in the mood to move a toe

Nice, Rog!

Looks hot, ja!

Was the memorial also so dirty?

Just for you H.e.

So after our evening braai we had some visitors of a civet past the camp fence a few times but it was too dark to get any pics .

The following morning our first sighting a Peragine Falcon




Travelling along the river we hit the morning rush hour and had to wait for them to pass







Some were even acting as taxi's for passengers


Aftr the rush we carried on and found some shy sightings not wanting to cross the road ..


Some though did not have that problem they just were not the quickest ...


But we were still past them quick enough to catch one of the cleanup crew still warming up in the morning sun





we carried on along the river towards Croc Bridge ...
