SANParks.org Forums

Hi Val

I have finally caught up with a huge break from the forums, and this break might be because I started loving the forums a bit too much, and than I just did not want to study and just wanted to concentrate on the forums instead of my academic work, so I have finally caught up with my College Work and also planning on catching up on the forums today.

Great episodes, soo glad you saw your WILD DOGS and Cheetah even though they were not at the park and than seeing WILD DOGS in the Park must simply be a treat.

I Loved all the pics of Lions and this might be because it is my favorite animal.

Really feel SORRY for the buff, but Nature is sometimes very cruel but we just have to leave it take its course.

Looking forward to more of your episodes and hopefully I can be an All Rounder and stay focused on 2 things.

Glad to have you back Daron.

Glad the studying is going well, and so glad to have you back on the forums.

Day 96 (Feb 4th)
Not a very successful day.

Firstly I forgot my camera, but as it happens, apart from a lovley Dark Chanting Goshawk which was a lifer for us, and a very new born Zebbie, that I would have liked photos of, we only saw a few Impies and a lone bull Ellie.

We drove along the H9, then turned down the S132, then S133, then the H14.

We had a quick visit to "our causeway" where nobody came out to see us, and then drove back to Phala.

We still love our park even on lean days, and it just makes us realise how lucky we are on the days when we do see lots. It's not a zoo, and I firmly believe that the bush only shows us what it wants us to see!!!

Dinner was Country Chicken Hotpot, and now Dungy has gone to pour us a long Amarula............

Tomorrow we leave early for a day trip to Olifants............can't wait!!!

To be continued............

Hey Val, every day in the African bush is a blessing, even if it shows your very little!

(can you believe it, our CB's are mating again and sitting on the branch all day , and eats a lot! The one chick is in the other nest still.)

Crested Val,

Oliphant's aaaaah

Have a great day!

Val,
Just going through the Phala gate into Paradise is reward enough, with the smells, sounds and total peace which engulfs you.
Have a special trip tomorrow to Olifants.

Hi Val
We are .. Just remember what they say
" even a bad day in the park is better than a good day in the office"
And I do not believe there is such a thing as a bad day in "paradise"
Wish we was there

Hi Val. Another fantastic episode.

You are right with your statement that the Park only shows us what it wants us to see, like there are so many times when Lions might be just next to the road and we miss them because of them being blended into the background.

Cant wait for more

Val I must say I love the way you add what's for dinner. I will confess I have copied you sometimes if I can't think of what to make for us that night.

Hope you have enjoyed Olifants today Val and Dungy! I just said to Barry the other day, I wish we were at Olifants now!

I am glad that you also enjoy the Park, although sightings were not that great .
Just to be there is a bonus .
Hope that today to Olifant's will be a blast .

Wish I could just pop in and see those CBs!!

We know how blessed we are!!
