Hi Everyone :hello:

How is everyone, Hope everyone has had a fab festive season. I have had a fabulous holiday, and lots of things happened which just increased my delay on returning to the forums, but now I am back and hopefully for a very long time.

I am soo SORRY to keep you all waiting, and hopefully I wont keep you all in SUSPENSE for long periods of time now.

So the QUESTION was not answered whether I see the WILD DOGS or not????? :hmz: :hmz: :hmz:

So without any further delays, lets continue with my TR.

The FINAL DRIVE contd

So we left the happy couple letting them have their privacy, and they can be more alert making sure no Predator comes near their home.

As we started driving, our drive was very relaxing and we all decided to sing a song, which is actually a bollywood song called Jhalak Dikhla Ja, and to translate the title, it means show us a glimpse although I do not have any supertisions linked with the song, it was a good song to sing in the car, and in the park in search of the WILD DOGS. Although we do not have the best of voices, we just enjoyed the song, until we came to a lookout point which was sooooooooooo HHHHHHIIIIIIGGGGGHHHHHHH that you could not see anything there, although we did see a few things there through our Binocs after lots of searching.

Image

As going through our Binocs my dad was the first to spot the GIRAFFES which could not be seen with the Naked eye, that is how HIGH we were, and how low and far away the Giraffes were. So all of us eventually managed to see them through our Cameras and Bincos Image

Image

Notice the Wildebeest in the background, we only Notices them at home, when going through the pics on the computer, it is simply amazing how many animals we might be missing out on in Kruger, but I think that is why us Kruger Lovers go back over and over again, in the hope to see something different.

Image

There were 3 Giraffes and there is a Zebbie there which we saw when we looking through our Binocs on the spot, although everything looked soo tiny in reality, but thanks to Technology, we can see things from FAR AWAY as if it is close by.

So after taking in such breathtaking views which only the Kruger can produce, we decided to carry on, and we came across these group of friends and family crossing the road.

Image

So we had this fab sighting of Zebbies and Giraffe crossing the road. It is soo good to see that animals stay in unity with each other and don’t ignore one another, like these 2 different species walking peacefully with one another.

[img]http://i1139.photobucket.com/albums/n554/kallis1786/IMGP0215_zps50c7d23e.jpg/img]

So all the Zebbies crossed first followed by Mr Tall

Image

Once everyone crossed, we were free to go and carry on our way to SATARA, but I still have not seen the WILD DOGS, will I see them, Will they show me a glimpse.

Will Satara deliver any Kitty for which it is famous for or will the Orpen Pack come to say Hello.

All of these answers will be answered, so STAY TUNED
