THE FINAL DAY

Hi guys. Once again I would like to start a TR by Thanking all of you for your wonderful compliments

Now I would like to apologise for the long delay.

Now it’s time for the Final day

So now it was time for the drive and this Mornings plan was to Travel the N1, N2, N4, M1 and the M7 .

For some reason our first sighting on today was this Special Sighting and it is very Rare for a Northerner to see this sighting let alone as the first sighting of the day.



So this special sighting was great and as this was my last day in the Park, I thought this will be my last sighting of the Trip, so we spent a while with this wonderful fellow, and then we decided that it was time to drive on.

Than we saw a group of Impi Warriors and Zebs all in full alert mode looking into a direction but we could not see what they were looking at and we spend over 45 minutes there, and for the whole time period we tried to search why was this group of Impi and Zebs soo alert, and a few cars passed us during this time until another car appeared and he stopped, and asked us what we’re looking at, and then Daddy explained the whole scenario, and then they joined in the search but after about 15 mins we left the car with the search and we carried on, unfortunately there was no pics of this sighting because we were all in search mode.

So we carried on, and we came across these 2



Now this was something very special as yesterday we did not have a single sighting of these wonderful species and today we had 2 already.

Than we carried on and came across this guy watching over the horizon.



So we spent some time with him as this is a rare sighting because you don’t see it soo commonly. So we enjoyed the sighting, and it was time to carry on and we had a third sighting of the MAGNIFICENT.



So we felt very Lucky and privileged to be spending soo much time with these magnificent creatures, and shared our love with them, as we had a long drive ahead it was time to move on, and we came across another sighting WHICH DOES NOT EXIST BETWEEN PUNDA AND SHING, although once they were in the thousands, they no longer exist in that area for some weird reason



So now it was time to carry on and we came across this Beautiful Birdie. Hopefully you all like the pic.



I really loved the pic, and one of my favourite pic of the trip. Hope you all liked it as well.

Than it was nearing Lower Sabie after taking Numerous routes in order to search for the Wild Dogs which are not yet seen.

So while we were driving along we came across this family.



So we spent some time with these wonderful family who were just enjoying the morning drink

Than it was time for Lower Sabie and time for our Breakfast

While we watched these Hippsters having a fab time in the Sabie River in a Hippi way.



But then it was time to head off but we met the person that we left in search for what the Impi’s were looking at and we were all in for a shock but me being the Suspense King, You all will have to wait and I will tell you all in my next update.

Hope everyone is enjoying the TR and Stay Tuned, Today becomes the best day of the Trip but for that you all will have to wait as it is said Kruger saves the BEST for LAST.

So Stay Tuned.

Wonderful to have had so many sightings of those magnificent beasts.

Love your Lilac Breasted really beautiful ......Looks like a fluffy pom pom

Ellies nice and chilled having their morning drink.

Doggies will be sighted in this day.

Lovely and many Rhino sightings Kallis1786!

Awesome picture of the Ostrich as well! I can't believe that you saw that Blue Wildebeest in that area! Maybe they will be seen there more often now?

Beautiful LBR! And what a great shot of the Ellies and Hippos too!

Lovely pics and TR

Lovely LBR!!! OK now you have to tell us if your search came true!! I know mine did and it was on my final day and final hour.... Maybe you have the same luck

Hey Kallis, LOVE your LBR! agree, awesome pic!



yes you like the suspence and drama, what could be next????

Biting my nails - Can't wait to read what happened on the last day!

Seems as though I've just caught up in time.

So many Rhino!!!

That LBRoller is magnificent!!!

Great update!!!!!!! lucky number of rhonnie sightings and your lbr is toooooooooo cute and so fluffy!!!! Can't wait to see what parting gift the park blessed you with!!!

Lekker day! As you said - special sightings, seeing as they are not so common up North. In fact, a BWB sighting anywhere in the park is becomming a bit of a special sighting. All the years of good rains are apparently not favourable to them. Maybe with the next drought - the wildies will return North...

Getting close to the end of your trip. I'm not too sure whether you are going to see them.............doggies........... this trip. Don't leave us waiting now. Tell us what you saw NOW, not just now, NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! (What a great TR though, Kallis. Well done.)

I love your favorite shot of the trip I can understand why you love it.

Now

Hi Trrp, I would First like to apologies for such a long delay , I agree, having sightings of the magnificent ones is always magical. Come to think of it the LBR does look like a pom pom. Hopefully a tourist wont mistake it for one . Nellifants are always chilled besides a couple of days. Thanks for the Doggie wishes, Hopefully they will come true. Stay Tuned.



Hi Hilda. I would first like to apologies for such a long delay , I agree, it really is magical to see the magnificent Rhino's. I dont know much about the South but hopefully there will be More Wildies seen in that area as well , I was shocked to see an Ostrich to be honest, did not expect seeing one. Thanks for the compliments, I really appreciate them. Stay Tuned.



Hi Philip, So sorry for the long delay . Thanks for the kind words. I really appreciate them

Hi Bushbud. Firstly I would like to apologies for such a long delay , BWB are becomming rare in the Park but the funny thing is, compared to the whole park, the North has always been the driest, so I wonder why dont we get to see them , Mystery. Stay Tuned. Some great sightings to come.
