Africa Wild

Very nice, Rog!

A muster of storks! One learns something every day!

It is actually dagha boys...not dagga! Dagha is cement.


How amazing the swallows using the tunnel!

My favourite is Lenny!

Love the stork congress, Roger,

the ellies, Zebras as well as nyalas

Indeed a lot of lovely sightings

Quite a lot of good sightings for less than three days

Roger!

was uncertain of the spelling but being from Durbs the mind goes to Dagga

Some nice sightings

So the plan was originally to spend the night at Marloth and as we did not have a booking to loiter around Marloth the next day but early on that evening we decided to rather just go early to the gate and try our luck .My sister had a booking so they would get in .We had been getting up early to travel so another early day would not hurt ...so here is the bonus days trip into Kruger ...

Arriving early at the gate we were about 15 cars back and got directed into the naughty no booking line . The HR & gate guard released all the pre-bookings and waited for more to arrive and they got released as they came .Eventually after an hour they allowed us no booking to start entering in batches of about 5.(I still prefer Malelane system first come first served )

We headed up to Gomondwane loop .Our first sighting

was similar to our second

We took the obligatory picture of the dead tree so we have quite a few and it has not changed much


Next we had probably the sighting of the trip for us but it was brief and distant so we have no photographic proof . As we were coming to the end of the loop a small animal was walking in the road some distance ahead of us .Is that a buck no as we got a little closer it darted to the side it was a AWC in the wild not in a camp ...

We went up to Sunset dam and found the bird perching on the drain was somewhat larger today


The Kingfisher was looking for breakfast


There was no Lenny today but this Glossy Starling was willing to pose ..


We stopped into Lower Sabie for a quick break and thankfully it was very quiet this early ...

I won’t be able to wait for over an hour to enter the gate

Lucky to see an AWC outside camp!

I thought that the TT was finished

A kitty!

Looks very cloudy

Brilliant pic of the starling

It is amazing how it is always cloudy after a couple of scorching days!

Very lucky with the Africa Wild cat, Rog!

I wonder if anyone has ever crashed into that tree?

it was cooler .Anything is possible in Kruger if someone got distracted they could easily drive into it
