That martial episode is amazing

Another great episode with super special pics of the Martial.

Beautiful drive around Red rocks.

WOW, Just caught up, and I am loving every bit of of this TR.

Looks like you had lots of fun during the walk, and the pics of the Eagles are amazing.

Thank you everyone for all of your comments. I seem to be derilect in finishing this TR up, sorry. Trrp-Trrrrrrrr, hilda, Barryels, Sheenaugh-Lee, Tedredrum, Cape of Storms, Phillip1, my dear friend Val, Pumbaa, Kallis1786, Thank you all for your comments and for following my bumpy, often interrupted journy. Super Mongoose, I will try to get some photos of Torticat's castings, she is getting quite an impressive collection. Besides the Hyena, she has amazing Grizzly Bear, Heron, otter and wolf prints. I will post photos in the near future, along with video she took on this last trip in the north of the park.

Normana, fantastic Martial pics

Amos's story reminds me of my own childhood Jack Frost. Jack Frost would eat off our toes if we stayed out too late at night. I haven't counted my toes lately.

Lovely report

After spending a great deal of time with the Martial Eagle, we headed back to camp. After a bite to eat and a quick siesta, we were back out on the road, this time with Shadrack at the wheel. Again, fortune was with us and we were the only guests in the vehicle!
First thing he asked was, do you want to see the lions that you have heard each night? He then drove us to a spot south of the camp headed towards the Kanniedood dam. Off the road quite a distance we spotted these brothers lounging in the shade.

We then drove further on and found another show-off popping and dropping from the sky.

We felt very fortunate to have watched a number of Korhaan flying straight up, then dropping like a stone to the ground, what an amazing sight!

Shortly after the Korhaan display we saw a ghost in the bush. It took about 10 minutes to finally snap a photo of him, he just did not want to be photographed.

Kanniedood Hipsters grunted and groaned as the sun dropped lower in the sky. One of their friends was late to the party and eased into the pool.



The oxpeckers held on until they were at risk of taking a swim and finally flew off.

We wrapped up our Shingwedzi stay with a wonderful sunset.


It is finally sinking in that our trip is almost over, part of me wants to stay forever, part is ready to go home and see our cats and rest for a while. We have already started talking about the next great SanParks adventure.

What good spotting even the others. Lovely Hippo and....

...Amazing Sunsets!!!

wow I love Kanniedood dam and surrounds. Just so wild and beautiful! Thanks for the pics!

You were so lucky to be the only guests Normana53! That means you can ask all the questions and get all the answers! What a lovely trip with Lions to start with! And your Korhaan sighting! I have never seen a display like that! And what a "ghost"! My goodness! It is simply wonderful!

The Hippo's are always entertaining .... in or out of the water! I love those fat, big bodies!

What a wonderful sunset! I feel like crying to watch so much beauty!

Thanks so much for sharing!

normana53,

Another really special episode with wonderful sightings.

Amazing to watch those Kori's when they fall from the sky.

Awesome sunset...breathtaking...sigh.....

I always try to tell people I know that photos of African Sunsets are nice, but they just don't come close to the real thing! You jusat can't fully describe it in words or photos.
How I long to see another.......

You are so welcome to come and visit our beautiful country again Normana53!

Another day in the Park with awesome sightings .
What a beautiful and awesome sunset sequence .

WoW, what a great collection of footprints, I think its an awesome idea and we would just love to see what it looks like! Yes, will be waiting for that video too!
