We stopped of at the camp...using ablutions and stretching legs....

then proceeded out of the park.

We were rather surprised to see animals 'outside the park'

was this our sunset of the day?

What amazing sightings you had, Richard :thumbs_up:

I often wonder when staying and got hooked on a sighting what might crossing behind your back the road :tongue: Sometimes maybe it is better not to know what :thumbs_up:

Love your jackals and the francolin portrait :clap: :clap: :clap:

Awesome, beautiful sightings with superb pictures RichardJ! Gorgeous Jackal, and I love those big Buffalo herds! :clap: :clap:

Ten out of 10 for your SO to check the rearview mirror, otherwise you would have missed the lovely Lion! :dance: :dance:

Great sunset pictures, especially the one with the Giraffe is exceptional! :D

Great close-up shot of the Waterbuck with the uneven nostrils! :lol: The bum shots are equally cute! :clap: :clap:
