Hi Larissa,

We've just returned from Maroela camp on 4 Jan. Saw cheetah at the T-junction to Tamboti/Maroela on the last day.

Take a drive to Talamati area and Sweni road (Welverdiend dam) as well and not only the S100. Spotted a leopard there and lion cubs on the S36 near Hamilton camp.

Wish you lots of amazing sighting and time in Kruger. Love to see you report back and send my regards to Maroela.

Hi all!
Thanx for the comments so far... Just an enormous struggle to upload pics... 3G only at Orpen

Day 2

We took to the road early, and had breakfast as Skukuza

A couple of pics...

Those tusks worth a mention...

To be continued...

@ roaneric / mods -
Can I post pics of rhinos at all?
I was thinking just the pics without date, time, place? I got a couple of nice ones to share ....

Day 2 continued...

Crossing the Sand river, we came across our first "kill"....

While many cars passed us, we watched as this Giant Kingfisher sat down after catching his fish. He then went on to hit the fish against the tree branch, until eventually he swallowed it!
enjoy...

Beautiful Warthog with a nice set of tusks LarissaVW! :clap:

And the poor Impie lost his one horn in a fight!

Awesome sequence of the Kingfisher with his catch! :dance:

It is quite a mystery to me how so many people drive past, or even through a great sighting like your kingfisher one Larissa. :thumbs_up:

Mind you, the 'leeuverskrik' (lion besotted) will always be with us. :roll:

Like you say, only pics and no whereabouts. I'm sure there is a Mod that can clarify.

:clap:

Great sightings and lovely photos :clap:
