Hi my friend,
Thanks and yes Elly had her birthday on our way back at 10.000 meters altitude or more honoured with champagne by B A. I gave Elly some hugs from you and added some extra
wishing you and family a wonderful Cristmas

BluTuna,
Thanks !! So many Impala giving birth but few are visible... we felt very very lucky with this sighting

Is this lovely Really great moment

Thanks !
Idd it was a lovely, special and great moment

What an incredible and special start to your report Aat,
to witness something like that in the park is indeed a moment to be cherished & remembered for ever.
I know for next few trips, I will always wonder if one of the Impala we see in that area is perhaps your "Gomondwane"
Thanks so much for sharing it with us!

Hi Aat. We have right now had the privilege of living some of that amazing birth with you and Elly. The unspeakable magic of that moment is a window into the extraordinary perfection of Creation. The pure mutual love of that impala mother and her newly-birthed baby for each other is so exceptional that, even witnessing it in still photography, it brings tears to the eyes. What could be more beautiful than a birth! You were accorded one of Kruger's great gifts; a favour we hope to one-day also experience. Thank you for sharing this Godly moment with us.

Hello Aat. Just started reading your report and what a story to begin with. Your pictures and words tell the story so well, it almost feels like being there with you. Thanks so much for sharing. I'll be on board for the coming 4 weeks before heading for 3 weeks kruger ourselves. Your story's warming us up.

Elsa,
Thanks .... exactly the same feelings we had when we were close to that special place again later on... looking at the young ones and guessing ...Is that Gomondwane ?

OWN,
First of all it was super to meet you (both) , first on the S100 and later on in Satara camp.
Reading your comment...no much to add , your words are beautiful and expressing the sighting as it was.
Hope you both had a great time in the north after we split.

Grand to meet you two too, Aat. Can't wait for your other story. As for the north, you'll have to wait for our TR, which should get going in a month or so.

Hi Daffy,
That means you had a free sighting together with us
I think there will be some more stories to come... so take your time after your trip
I wish you a wonderful trip , many sightings and much relaxing and enjoying ... !!

Hi Aat, I have just caught up with your TR. What a fantastic sighting you had with the birth of the Impala lamb. You captured it so well. Absolutely stunning.

OWN,
You can count on me for more stories... I am thinking about what story to tell next .... and curious for your TR

Thanks adw,
It was idd very very special...and because of respect I tried to make no noise with making pics...even I did not think about moving my car for even a bit better view ... Never thought this miracle was so breathtaking if you see it just in front of you...

Aat,
As you said finishing your previous TR you started a new series. What a start
I scrolled back , looked at your fantastic pictures again and again , it's just amazing
How do you manage to get these special sightings trip after trip

I am really curious about the next stories I guess you are going to surprise us a few times more ?

Happy New Year for you and Elly
