Day 6: From Sirenhi to Crook's Corner

The early afternoon was quiet and we headed down to Babalala picnic site, to spend a lazy afternoon there. This is one of the quieter picnic sites in Kruger without shop or take-aways and very often we were luckily the only visitors there. :-) And this time again no soul around O/\

But the snacks and drinks had to wait, as we saw these ones coming -O

The Roans went over to the waterhole, had a quick drink and left :shock: So we had enough time to relax with coffee, cold drinks, sandwiches and fruit Image

We stopped for a sundowner watching Dwarf Mongoose and back in the camp, the fire was started with a glass of red wine. After supper there was a power cut when this little birdie happened to fly into the bungalow :O^ Now try to find it in the darkness 0: After a while it was found in the bath room and I thought catching a wild bird by hand was not easy, but this one was easy to catch. \O
Don't tell me that this is not a beautiful blurd =O: =O: =O:

Image Night sounds: roaring lion and a little later a herd of buffalo having a bath in the river.
