Everything is true! 
BL a bit more solemn the next morning...
Where is my family!?
We went to check on the maniacs at the campsite, and they were surfacing...Joe, your Bols is still with me...will keep it for you!
Off into the desert mountains!
And Matsulu windmill struggling...there was a bit of water in the one trough...I suspect it gets emptied fast...
A lovely restful view of Impala, nothing was hurrying us, and I noticed the behaviour of grooming each other with the lower front teeth...gathering salt and stuff! The lower teeth are specially grooved for this practice!
Sometimes two on one...we saw it further on with another herd too!
An angry elephant display...but we survived!
And off back to camp for my Saturday morning fix!
I had 4 of these!
The river looks good here, but the water is from the Dam, by and large...don't know how long it can last...
It really was a great relaxing trip, and going in on the first night of holiday may become an institution!

I like this part of Kruger... mountains/reservoir and not too crowed
you didn't eat the "sans famille" (without family)

Here's some more impala info!
The incisor teeth are loose in their sockets so that they can be used to comb ticks out of the coat, and impala spend more time grooming than other antelope. They are also the only one of the medium and small antelope that usually have oxpecker birds on them. Reciprocal grooming between herd members is an important means of removing ticks from areas that each animal cannot groom for itself. Territorial rams do not have time to groom, and they carry six times more ticks.
