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.

Thanks was wondering it nearly looks like Genial 'n Violet (purple stuff my mom always used on wounds, again giving my age away)

Lovely sightings and pictures once again Val! Love all the birdies, the beautiful Zebras and Giraffes, the sad Baboon and last but not least, that handsome Buffalo! :dance:

Enjoy your time with Elsa and Klystron! :clap:

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. :clap:

Enjoy the rest of your time in Kruger.

We have fond memories of our meet with you and EJ. :dance:

Had an interesting drive down from Phala to Paul Kruger on Monday.

Spent 4 wonderful days with Elsa and Klystron at Burchells.

Now at Malelane Camp............what a pleasure!!!!
Saw EJ briefly before she went off to do her Bush Camp.

Leaving here tomorrow, for an overnight stay in Ermelo, then Mkuze, then we stay again with Elsa and Klystron in Ballito, and finally arrive in Port Edward on March 1st.

I will not be posting our park trips from last Monday-Sunday until we are settled in at Port Edward, so please be patient!!! :thumbs_up:
