Day 2 (click here to return to Day 1)
 |
| King of the Jungle |
My first full day in Kruger dawns cool, cloudy and very windy.
After checking and tightening all flaps and guy ropes on my tent and gazebo I set off for a morning's drive east of Satara.
 |
| Safety in numbers on a cool, blustery day |
 |
| First impala lambs of the season |
|
 |
| A "tower" of giraffe |
 |
| Red Crested Korhaan |
 |
| Wood Sandpiper |
A fairly quiet morning drive after all the initial action on the S100 - probably the weather.....
A not so long siesta in camp, a bit uncomfortable as my camping set up doesn't provide any shelter from the blustery wind, so I set off earlier than planned for my afternoon drive south and west of Satara.
 |
| Buffalo near a stand of Leadwoods |
 |
| Plains zebra - she looks very pregnant! |
 |
| a curious Tree Squirrel |
|
 |
| Cheetah marking territory |
 |
| This cheetah has obviously eaten recently! |
 |
| and a 1/2 hour later, leopard on it's warthog kill! |
Wow! What an end to my first full day......

Sue, I love all the photos, especially this one of the leopard staring right back at you. AWESOME!
yes Ruth, I spotted this leopard first, in a Marula tree right next to the road, so managed to get the best view. There were also 2 hyenas under the tree scavenging scraps but that didn't prevent this big boy from jumping down once he decided he had had enough!
