That Wartie looks so satisfied with himself .... full of mud! Awesome Val!

Sorry to hear that Dungy was not feeling too well! Hope he has recovered completely?

Beautiful LBR, and that gorgeous Klipspringertjie! Fantastic!

Isn't that a great shot (close-up) of the little Vervet? Look at those beautiful, big eyes!

Are you already leaving for KZN on Monday?

Very nice pics and tales from the bush!
Thanks Val, enjoy the last ever few days.
Glad Dungie,s tum is better now.
A bit of info on the marks on the little Zebbie's face, as I understand it and have been lead to believe from my very knowledgeable daughter, its a form of grass mange, apparently caused by grazing in wet grass.

Hi Val,

awesome pic's all around .
Just can't believe that you and Dungy are leaving Kruger on Monday . Time really flies .
Thanks for sharing your KNP experiences with us and keeping us sain till we visit the Park again .

Yes Hilda, we leave here tomorrow bound for KZN.............but we are then staying with Elsa at Burchell's near Paul K Gate for 4 nights, then Malelane camp for 2 nights, so all is not lost!!!

That's very interesting Elsa........is it serious, and will he recover?
Dungy is fully recovered!!

Gosh Barry you are up early this morning (or late going to bed!!!)

As I said to Hilda, we leave here on Monday, but still have 6 kruger days left!!!

So glad we still have 6 days to look forward to Val!

Elsa, that is very interesting about the marks on the little Zebra's face! Just shows you how little one really knows!

Frederick woke me at 01:30, barking outside and I decided it is time to catch up on the forum (crazy).

Great to still have 6 days to visit Kruger .

Hi Val and Dungy

Very belated Happy anniversary.
Just catching up. Can't believe your time is coming to a close. Seems just the other day you started posting your adventures here. Have a fabulous time in KZN, and sooo looking forward to those last 6 days. There's gonna be Cheetah in there! Holding thumbs!

Hi Noel.


Day 108 (Feb 16th)
Day at home, packing up.

Day 109 (Feb 17th)
This morning we had a quick drive up the H9 to the S131 turning, and then drove the S131 back to Phala.

There was a nice group of Zebbies at Masorini Waterhole, and a small troupe of Babooons at Erfplaas. Sadly Desi and the Klippies didn't come to say goodbye, so we must wait till October to see them again.

Along the S131 we saw a raptor, which I think is maybe a Steppe Buzzard, and then an African Hawk Eagle and a female Red-Backed Shrike.

We also saw a lovely group of Giraffes and a lone Buff before we got back to Phala Gate.

We then called at the pub and grill for our last meal there...........fillet steak for Dungy and chicken stirfry for me!!

Tomorrow we drive down the R40 and enter the park at Orpen. We will then drive out of the Paul Kruger Gate, to Burchells where we will be staying with Elsa for 4 nights!!!

Watch this space!!!

Ai Val my heart goes out to you, this is the worst part of any trip saying goodbye I hope you have a wonderful last few days with Elsa

My goodness Val, has your time gone by already? Seems like just a couple of weeks ago we met at Letaba. Sad that our Phalaborwa reporter is going away, however you will enjoy the ocean for a few weeks.

That baboon looks sad, too, that you are going. Gorgeous shrike.

Enjoy the rest of your time in Kruger.

packing up what is that

nice serie of birds (raptors and Shrike)
beautiful Zebra picture

Val,

Stunning pics of all once again, very special.

What a pity Desi and the Klippies were not there to say goodbye.

Can hardly believe how quickly the time has gone in Phala.

Have a safe drive tomorrow and have a wonderful time with Elsa and SO ...sure there will be loads of fun and laughter ahead.

Hey Val, you had a great drive, but so sad it's time go, but not that bad, still in Kruger for a bit!

Love the zebbies and the long necks! Also love the birds!!!!
