DAY2 – Breakfast Time

Since the car was all Boyz, we all needed our Breakfast, and all the excitement made us really hungry, so everyone was looking forward to Breakfast at Lower Sabie and the first time I would see this camp that everyone was talking about.

As we were sat having Breakfast, I took this pic because of the beautiful scenery that only the Kruger can provide and with Hippos on the bank, just made the photo great.



And then while having Breakfast, my eyes fell on this Beautiful Bird, for which I do not know the name of because I am not a Birder myself, but am sure the Mites will be able to help me identify the species.



Once our tummies were filled, it was time to go but I saw some wonderful animals to take pics of.





Now it was time for our Drive up North to Skukz

But there is NO TRIP COMPLETE to Lower Sabie without visiting Sunset Dam



As always the Resident Hippo’s were always there, and ofcorz the Impi Warriors needed a drink.







Although we had lots more pics, I cant seem to find them in my Kruger folder. After spending about 30mins at Sunset Dam, it was time to carry on, and we came up with such a huge roadblock, something which we have never seen in the Kruger, nor have we seen anything like that anywhere else. Everyone was in SHOCK MODE

But I wonder what could be causing such a roadblock

Could it be another Leopard It cant be, I cant be soo lucky that I get to have my third Leopard Sighting of the trip, and second of the day.

Could it be the King Of The Beast It cant be, after such an awesome sighting of Golden Kitties this morning, I don’t think I can be lucky to have another sighting, or am I really that lucky.

Could it be the Wild Dogs am in search for Maybe this is my lucky day?

Stay Tuned in everyone to find out what caused such a roadblock.

Awesome sightings and pictures kallis1786! Sunset Dam is a must for everybody!

Waiting in anticipation to see what caused that road block!

...... more needed for this TR. As much as I'm hoping for your sake that Dogs were your roadblock, I suspect you are taking us on another chapter......

Stunning pic's and sightings Kallis and a visit to Sunset is a must, especially at sunset .

Thanks for sharing and looking forward to the surprise .

Lovely pics all round..... Always something to see at Sunset Dam

This should not be allowed, too much suspense ......

Beautiful Sunset Dam scene

Now for the roadblock......

Hey Kallis, I've also joined the bus and cant wait for the rest of the ride!

I'm in AWE about your leppie sighting, she is beautiful and gave you great pics!!!

Now for the rest.......

These kind of roadblocks is exactly why this stretch of road is also called "The Ben Schoeman" - aptly named after one of the busiest higways in Gauteng!

But there is a reason for this - as I'm sure you realised. That area is particularly well known for Leopard and Lion sightings. My bet is on one of those...

Good morning Kallis,
I have read through all 8 pages - and what a lively and entertaining TR And you had excellent sightings so far I hope your luck holds

Kallis, I love your gorgeous bushbuck pic. They are such beautiful animals. You are so right, Sunset dam is a must. It certainly looked rather busy and full.

I am looking forward to reading more. Your Leopard sighting takes some beating though. So close and so clear.

This heksie has seen in het glassball....
DOGGIES
I'm telling you now-I'm never wrong ok well, uhm almost never wrong
I also love chilling at Sunset dam. Would love to sit there and enjoy a few sundowners though and then just get in the camp just as they are closing the gates
Lovely kiekies of Sunset

Reminds me of the game we play When there are cars and we guess the animal that has been spotted.
You always call Leppie

Hey Kallis, you are doing it again!!!!!!!!!!!!! Suspenders, suspenders! Do you perhaps think you are Agatha Cristie? Serious though, a brilliantly written TR. Thanks.
