Lekker Buff herd! :thumbs_up: I've also heard that these herds are often followed by lionprides - especially in the North of KNP. So good advice there! :wink:

Laughed so loudly at the story of the old man and the meat on the riverbed... :lol: They do look like that! :lol:


Hi Bushbud, It was a wonderful Buff Herd, Probably Lion sees the Buff as the visitor saw the Hippo, MEAT :lol: It is true, they do somewhat look like massive Meat Balls.

Suspense :mrgreen: :mrgreen: The buffs gave some wonderful oppertunity, and I got some pic's of single Buffs, but I wanted to share the full herd. It was just massive, It was like everywhere you saw, all you could see was Buff. Doggies :hmz:

Hi Val, It really was an amazing Kudu, I will share a pic of my favorite Kudu Bull throughout all my Trips, but only after the TR. There Really were LOADS of Buff. I wonder what comes next :hmz:

It is always wonderful to find the big herd of Buffs kallis1786! :clap: :clap:

What a handsome Kudu! :dance: :dance:


It sure is amazing Hilda to find such a massive herd, You really get to learn a few things if you observe them for a while. The Kudu will be a charmer once he leaves the Bachelor group ofcorz.

Hi Everyone.

Firstly I would like to apologise for keeping you all waited, and hopefully you still have nails left to bite :mrgreen: because there are about 2 to 3 Episodes left, in which there will be suspense’s ofcorz or it might have a sighting of a life time, and ofcorz there is always a possibility that another day was added to the Trip which got cut short, but the mysteries will remain???????????????????????

Will these WILD DOGS ever appear :hmz:

So without any further delays, lets carry on our drive, from the THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS, to this guy

Image

So this is whom I will call Barney for the sake of this edition, So Barney was having a nice drink at the local pub, on his best seat without a care in the world, He thought there would be no one big enough to take his seat, but then Barney Boy had a surprise visit from Image

Image

But then Old Fred appeared and shouting Barney Boy!!!!!!!!!!!! Image, and Seeing Old Fred, Barney said today I will not let Fred bully me out of my favourite place, but Fred said, Barney boy, you need to GROW UP, otherwise you will have no tusks left when am done with you, and this meant

Image

Barney Boy had to move aside while Old Fred had his Drink, and while doing this Barney Boy thought, Only if I grow a bit older and Taller, I will teach Old Fred a lesson, but for the time being, he had to sit down to the seat next to Old Fred, and have his drink

Image

And this left Old Fred with a Grin on his face :twisted:

So we left the Local pub, while Fred and Barney did not have a fight, we came across someone that looked like he wanted to take out all his frustrations on us

Image

This OLD Dagga Boy has had many many fights in the PAST with other Dagga Boys, and also some Lions, and therefore he looked at us saying KEEP AWAY, and don’t come near me otherwise you’ll have to deal with THESE

Image

Looking at those Horns, we decided to stay away from this Dagga Boy at a distance and hoping amongst hope that he lets us pass because we had to reach Orpen Gate, and eventually after Pleading and Begging, he let us Go :dance:

So this brings an end to this Episode :mrgreen: , so the questions remain unanswered. Stay Tuned for another exciting and fun filled episode of THIS NORTHERNERS JOURNEY IN SEARCH OF WILD DOGS.

For the time being Hope everyone has a fab Weekend, and if you are travelling DRIVE SAFE.

Listen my birthday buddy, if your Finance exam paper was as long winded as this TR, I hope the examiner had a lot of patience. But as we share the same birthday, I hope you did very well. NOW, get on with the show, man!!! :wall: :wall: :wall:
