  Good day. It is Thursday now. I decided to combine it with Wednesday, as it was hardly anything to post for Wednesday. Yesterday was a miserable, hazy, hot day and sightings were the same. We drove to our favorite Afsaal and back. Unfortunately food was not ready but we managed to get a nice [...]

Thank you for the greetings. Yes I think it is the big trucks. We have seen them and their driving is not gentle… they can’t stop if something jumps in front of them. We have also seen speeding taxies. We are comfortably settled at Skukuza.  I never liked it, as it is so big and [...]

It was hard to get up at 4:30. It was even harder when we realized it was raining.  Soft, drizzling rain. We were to drive from CB to Skukuza. H4 is so famous road and we have miserable drizzling rain. Even that is better than being in JHB (and at work). And the first thing [...]

Good evening! It is Monday, the 20th of February at 19:00 o’clock. We arrived on Friday the 17th, nearly as promised. We are staying only for one week and Dom is not with us. It sleeps in its storage, still waiting for the right time to come. Hopefully it will be between the 2nd and [...]

  Hi there, And the last day has arrived.  We will be leaving tomorrow. This is a collection of sightings from yesterday. This morning I did a game drive, but everything was deserted. I think all the animals are mourning that we are going. We too! Hyenas are always out. Yesterday morning was overcast, so [...]

Good day, As weekend was so busy, I was wandering should I go out at all.  But during the night lions were calling and decided to go for a short drive. Everything looked quiet, except for this heard of buffalos near the Park Gate. On the way back to the Malelane Camp I met this [...]

And Sunday dawned cold. It was 11C. Brrr. We drove regular circle around Skukuza and nothing interesting, lots of Impalas, still shivering. Driving back to Skukuza it was a Bang. Just look at the pictures: Young couple. This was he third time we were witnessing this performance:       Then another male, in his [...]

Hi there, I am continuing previous blog with Saturday happenings. On Saturday morning we checked S114 but there were neither Buffalos, nor followers. Then, we came on H3 tarred road via Timfenene road. Our Hyenas were there. All of them on the road! I know by now you had enough of Hyenas’ pictures but I [...]

Hi there, It is Monday morning after the busiest weekend we ever had in KNP. I decided to divide it in 3 blogs in order to make it readable. I’ve already posted about an easy morning drive on Friday. In the afternoon we both went out. It was a quite drive with a lot of [...]

  Good day,  It is Friday and OB is looking forward to the weekend. We booked ourselves at Skukuza for the Saturday night. So, Selati restaurant here we come! Yesterday I did not go out. Spent it just lazing in the camp and listening to the bush sounds. It was relaxing. This morning it was [...]
