Great start to your TT STF

Fantastic pics Still the same SX60, if it is, then you guys are better with it than us.

Close up leopard and a very lucky honey badger sighting

Hyena and pups

Brilliant leopard sighting on the s50 and then another leopard

Dogs in the Olifants section

Sad about the S39, we love this road, but not in the condition you describe.

Hey howzit B.C. So glad to have you on board.

Thanks for the lovely comments.

We did not manage to see the N'watimhiri causeway leopard. We did that loop three times over two days but no luck.

12 June 2018 - Part 3/3

Seen between Nkhulu and Skukuza.





First time we have seen two Fish Eagle together.





"Yuk, I stood in some pooh."



Just a nice view down Sabie River.







So our last day comes to an end. Tomorrow morning we go sit at Lake Panic for a few hours before heading to Phabeni gate to go home.

Ten minutes before the gate we saw our best sighting of the two weeks and what a way for Kruger to say goodbye.

To be continued.

The two fish eagles are beautiful and also the goliath heron

The black ones in flight Unfortunately they have pink legs, if not i'd have said ravens or something like that. It is also difficult to judge the size.

Once again nice elephants

The Sabie River is dry at least in that place

Are those two birds in flight or two separate pics, stf? Look like juvenile bateleur?

Love the road shot of the elephants, nice vegetation there!

Roll on tomorrow1

Lovely pics again!

Now you've got me interested!!

Sorry about being absent for the past 10 days but our electrical substation burnt to the ground on 10 July. They rebuilt it by 15 July but when they switched on there was no power. On checking they found that the new cables they had laid had been stolen. New cables were laid by end 16 July but found that other cables had been damaged. Cables were repaired on 17 July and after testing power was finally restored at 04:00 today (18 July) and stayed on. We are told that it normally takes them between 3 and 6 months to build a substation and they did it in 6 days at a cost of R 80 million. Unfortunately we lost everything we had in our fridge and freezer.

I will post our final day tomorrow.

That's bad luck! How have you survived for more than a week without electricity?

Ai, stf!

But welcome back!
