Tx guys

We saw our first Brown Hyena

On our way back we stopped at Samevloeing, we were greeted with the same picture, dead Eland. We wonder why they died at the waterhole and reading the reports and feedback from Sanparks it looks like they died of hunger and not thrust.

The Jackals had a feast on this one was spotted at Samevloeiing

Our trip started on a sad note, but little did we know the next day would be so successful!
