2 October Skukuza cont.
We left the ellies and found this boon jumping to get the juiciest bits! Unfortunately I had too much lens but couldn’t be bothered to change it.
Next up was this fellow crossing the road. We stopped and made sure he made it safely across.
This Bateleur was interested in something on the road, but of course as soon as I got my camera it flew off.
We got onto the S21 and found this Greenshank ‘wallowing’ in some mud.
The rest of the road was dead. On the S114 we came across some cars and a Landie with “Defender of Wild Dogs” printed on the side and an aerial out the window. It was here that we met Ossendryver and he told us that some wild dogs had crossed the road but they couldn’t see them anymore. We also spoke to the “Defender” who was a really nice guy. He said the dogs were about 30 metres in but the bush was too thick to see anything. He told us about various packs in the park and confirmed that we had gone on a wild “dog” chase the previous day when we went to Pretoriuskop, as the dogs had left the den the previous week!
We headed back to camp feeling quite fed up as the morning had not yielded much, and there had been long stretches where we saw nothing!

I was so grumpy, I did something I’ve never done in Kruger before...I had an afternoon nap!!
