On our last game drive of the holiday we watched this big boy push over the tree.
Partly because he wanted to reach the fresh green leaves high up, and partly because he was in "must" and 'cos he could.
Just love Eles.
Table set for dinner - Umlani Bush Camp
Wonderful Giraffe with flowing main.
Mother and calf Rhino.
As we watched them the calf began to call its mother - the best description of a Rhino call has to be a dogs squeaky toy. Uber cute it has to be said.

Bush walk with our guide Sinhle.
The buzz from bumping into Buffalo in the bush was fantastic - not sure who was more surprised. Us or them. Sorry no pics - I was focussed on being ready to run for it.
It's obviously a cliché, but you can't beat a dead tree sky-lined against the African sunset to express the tranquil grandeur of the bush.
Resting before the hunt. These animals are some of the most successful predators in Africa - sadly pushed to the brink of extinction by man.
For the second day running we saw Wild Dogs. A real treat and as always a privilege to see such wonderful animals.
We watched these Zebra drinking at Marco's Dam from the tree house.
My view out of the tree house at Marco's Dam where we spent a couple of wonderful mornings in the tranquillity of the African Bush just listening to the birds and watching the wildlife come down to drink.

Rhino in the Timbavati.
If ever an animal typifies man's crass lack of understanding what real value is.
The long and winding road. One of the tracks near Umlani in the Timbavati.
This is the African Bush - Heaven on Earth
Our favourite animals by a country mile - Wild dogs - and this one could levitate!
