The delight and wonder on the faces of the five blind and five deaf children on their first visit to Kruger.
Spot the snake!
The Black Mamba crossing the road in front of us and then climbing and moving around a couple of small Mopani’s close to the road.
An African Rock Python coiled in an untidy heap below the road next to the Sabie River.
The snore of an exhausted lioness during a break in mating.
A fleeting glimpse of the Sable Antelope’s scimitar horns near Pretoriuskop Rest Camp.
Multiple sightings of the “rare” tsessebe over a 36 hour period near Mopani Rest Camp.
Eighty buffalo silhouetted against the setting sun, kicking up the dust in their run down to the waterhole.
The huge bull elephant rolling like a kid in the mud at the edge of Nsime Dam.
The antics of a baboon troop on the banks of the Olifants River.
A Ground Hornbill feasting on a tortoise, tossing it into the air as it tries to get it’s beak into the head and leg openings.
The baby elephants rolling over and over in the shallows of the waterhole.
The troop of Banded Mongoose scampering down to drink at the waterhole with the baboons and two old bull elephants.
The majestic “King of the Jungle” surveying his domain in the setting sun.
A massive crocodile chasing fish in the shallows, with the young Fish Eagle hovering above waiting for a chance to grab the fish as it desperately leaps out of the water.
The wonderful people from all over the world that have shared with me all these experiences over the last 3 months.
