Aat, you just made my day!!

In all the many years of visiting Kruger I only once (quite recently I might add) saw a bull like that (near Talamati) and then got the usual leopard-like shot - you know - "the backside dissapearing into the bush shot".

You were privileged to have shared those moments in the company of one of the, for me anyway, most elusive creatures in the park.

You used the opportunity very well my friend :clap: and I'm soooo jealous.

I also saw this bull twice on the S36 end of November. What a magnificent animal and for a long time there was no other car around :dance:

Hi,

We saw this young Sable with his family members near Talamati at the end of March.

Very interesting horns on the one cow. Probably sustained an injury to the horn base when she was still a little calf. :hmz:
