Great to see the first baby imps, lovely pic of the buff. I think Desmond will reappear once the sun is shining again.

Nice update

Thanks for the pictures of the cutest little babies Val!

Beautiful flowers too!

Desi will show himself sooner or later! I wouldn't be too concerned about him if I were you. He has his own agenda!

I agree with Noel! Your menus make me hungry too!

that little one is just too gorgeous lovely nature pics

thank you.

Great to see the little impi's arriving again . Also love the pic's of Kruger in full bloom . Thanks for sharing

Those pics of baba Impies make me even more Home sick, just so adorable.

Sigh.......So glad I can experience all your sighting and pics with you on a daily basis

Hope Desie is ok.

Thanks for sharing

I must apologise for not replying individually to each comment this time, but I am low on credit on the modem!!

Suffice to say......a big thanks for all your encouraging comments, it makes it worthwhile doing a TR!!



Day 21 (Nov 20th)
We had to wait to let the maid in this morning, so we were a little later than normal getting to the gate.
However, as it was a coolish cloudy morning, we still hoped to see plenty of game.

First on the list near the gate was a cute little Steenie, who actually stood her ground, and didn't bolt off like they ususally do!!!

Then we saw a few giraffe, who were all mixed up with each other!! They looked very comical we thought!!

Next we saw some zebbies near Masorini, and more baby Impalas.......so cute.

Along the H9 we saw a sub-adult male, zonked out after presumably a large breakfast............he was totally oblivious to us. We looked around, but could see no other lions nearby (though I don't doubt if we had got out of our car, we would soon have found them.)

No sign of Desi again today...........maybe he went on his holidays.

Nhlanganini delivered big time.............a large herd of Ellies, Hippo, Waterbuck, a huge Croc, and several Buffalo.

Then it was back home via the S132 and S131.............which delivered no game, but some lovely birds, though most of them did not pose for me to take any kiekies!!!!!

Here are some of the birds we saw............Lilac Breasted Roller, European Bee-Eater, Grey Hornbill, Yellow Hornbill, Martial Eagle, Sabota Lark and Jacobin Cuckoo.

I can't wait to see some of my favourite summer visitors...........European Roller, Carmine Bee-Eater, and of course my favourite...........The Woody Kingfisher. Each time we go to Letaba we listen out, but so far no luck, though any day now we will be lucky, I'm sure!!

Now home relaxing (again I hear you say!!)

Lunch was a cuppa soup, and dinner is simple tonight...........lovely crispy, thick, back bacon, new potatoes and mushrooms.!!

The Amarula bottle is almost empty, and with a very special guest arriving soon, we had better stock up soon!!

To be continued.................

Hiya Val, those ellies are soooooooo cool.

Tell your guest that we shall see her with a leetle bug soon.

Hi Val,

Hope your daughter and SIL have a smashing time in Mauritius.

Steenbokkie has such a dear little face.

Those Ellies gave a beautiful show....great kiekies all round and super sightings with lion included for the day.

Val ..would like to request the first Woody pic for me please!!!!.....wonder why.

I love the Ellies family

no need an individual reply... I know how are the connection near/in the park

HI Val, I had to catch up on 5 pages now, but now I'm all ready with this TR again
I'm so glad that the babies are busy showing themselves now Will be a wonderful trip that is counting down for the brownie bunch
Would love to see a kiekie of the paradise flycatchers if you don't mind-still need to see one
Cute baby imp kiekies

Also the woodie, lark and LBR
Hope that desi will be in her crevice soon

The mixed up giraffes, gorgeous steenbok, ellie and birdie photos are great!

PS – Tell Scipio that if he has any ideas about bugs he can bug*** off!

PPS - No need to stock up on Amarula - I've got for us!
