It's baby time in Kruger!





Two weeks ago I was searching eagerly through the legs of every impala herd we encountered to see if I could find any new lambs. This week they are everywhere.......







  

We've also seen a few tiny "warthoglets" (no photos unfortunately). Now the impatient wait to see the first gnu / wildebeest calves.



Of the water birds, most of the young herons look almost fully grown now, but a glimpse of Egyptian goslings at Lake Panic Bird Hide was a delightful surprise.










And then we've also had some wonderful sightings of hyaena cubs, monkey and baboon babies and many more........





not such a baby anymore, but still very young....

 No wonder this is one of my favourite times of the year!!

Great photos, Sue. Your blog always brings back wonderful memories of our days with you in Kruger several years ago.

How wonderful. One of these years I'll get there in the spring instead of the middle of summer. Thanks for sharing these.

yes Hilary, spring has certainly sprung, the grass is riz and the summer boidies are singing like crazy:)

Hello Scott, ot would be great to have you and Ruth back on safari with me.

Gaelyn, any time of the year in Kruger is wonderful, but spring/early summer is definitely special - hope you make it next year?
