Just hanging around
We found this one in typical pose on an afternoon drive.
Close encounters of the Rhino kind
This old boy literally brushed past the scouts feet.
Impala bones
We found the remains of an impala fairly recently killed and eaten.
Leopard print
Whilst out on a walk we found a drying water hole. The mud was still quite wet and it was clear to see that shortly before a Leopard had taken the same route.
One of the reasons it had decided to get its feet wet was that under the surface of the mud were cat fish trying to bury themselves to survive the oncoming dry season. There were dozens of stranded fish, most half eaten.
Just dropping the kids off at the pool
The Aardvark sunset
Sadly it was moving fairly quickly and the light levels were too low for a decent picture, but a wonderful memory none the less.
Full Hyena
Every breath seemed painful - if only it had some indigestion medicine.
Just nearby we could also se the Leopard hovering waiting for the Hyena to leave so it could retrieve some of its hard earned meal. But this Hyena wasn't planning on moving anywhere for some time.
Another mum and baby
Typically, if an elephant can fit underneath its mother’s belly it is under one year of age and very young baby elephants have a thick coating of fur that falls out by the time the elephant is 6 months to 1 year old. So this baby was probably 6 months to a year old.
Wild Dog
In this case they were in a small pack denned on the edge of the nThambo area. We saw them over a period of a few days in various places.
