Very dry .I believe they have had some rain the last few days after we left.


Bit ruffled by the wind .

At the weir there was a Pair of crocs sunning themselves .

The water was quite low and still .

There were some birds about .

These two were busy in the bushes and refused to turn around as well .

The view from the opposite side of the Weir was quite peaceful but the heat was on the rise and it was getting above 30's again

We decided to drive down to Berg en Dal to stock up with the food for tonight and then check in at Malelane . There was nothing much photo worthy on the way to Berg en Dal as most animals had moved into the shade due to the heat ...

I wonder what those two storks are chatting about

Exactly my thoughts, Lis 

God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Always a lovely spot there at the weir, Rog!
And those woolly storks are constantly gossiping in pairs, like on Pumbaa's report!
Maybe the temperature guy tested himself?

Re: A Quick trip to Kruger during Covid-19
The Camp shop was very quiet but well stocked .We noticed that most of the camp notice boards were well out of date some still showing drives and walks from December .After purchasing some meat to braai and some water we left Berg en Dal shop to go to Malelane Gate to check into the camp . On the way we found another vehicle stopped and there in a tree we had passed probably less than half an hour before on our way to camp was this fat cat


After a while the cat moved branches and carried on sleeping .So we took our last pics and moved on .The word had obviously gone out on the app or radio and vehicles were pilling in .

After checking in and driving to camp to offload we went for a drive around the river road .Our first sighting was


We drove past Gardenia hide .It was in a very poor state as was the river road .We did not take any pictures of the state of it . Somewhere we saw some big unmentioned animals . On the way back from the hide we decided to drive the Timfene loop .About halfway down I saw some spots in the grass .Leopard- I took some quick pics but it was moving away into the drainage away from the road .We went forward and back but it did not reappear .
Spot the spots
On the way back to camp we enjoyed the Kruger landscapes and scenery at sunset .



We went back to camp for the evening ...
