Africa Wild

Our party arrived on the Thursday afternoon. During and after pitching the tents we indulged in a few cold 's. This lead us to the idea of staying in camp and only venturing out the next day into the park. So, somehow Friday morning arrived and we took our first drive. Here are a few pics...







Back in camp I got these two hard at work in formation...

Nice pictures everyone. Really good job.

Stunning pics and luck, all of you!

Thanks so much everybody for sharing

Must have been a great meeting and the sightings were not that bad either

Ja... so there were really Cheetah's and not only shady dots.. Well done Flutts.

Super pics Sprocky

Here are some pics we took on our trip -

Taken by Efjay at the Centre -



A francolin



Capped Wheatear (not Mountain Wheatear) - such a beautiful bird



Female and Male Green winged Pytilla




Is this a black crowned tjagra - the bird is new to me - Flutts helped me - it is a Kalahari Scrub Robin. Still new to me.



Some red hartebeest



A steenbokkie



Pied Kingfisher



Waterbuck

Great pics Sprocky & Amoli.

Amoli, I think your birdie is a Kalahari Scrub-robin.

The warthogs were having fun - some power show.. -O







This is a picture I could look at all day -



This pic can now replace my last hazy pic of drinking giraffe



On the 'beach' at Mankwe Dam was this Fish Eagle



And the siren boys were there too - making a lot of noise



Our sightings were very normal, but magnified. The dams on the dirt roads were mostly dried up and therefore, we had good sightings at the Centre and Mankwe Dam.

I think your Mountain Wheatear is actually a capped Wheatear Amoli.

Thanks Penga - you right. I fixed it.

More lovely pics! You had nice sightings at the centre.
