Thank You all for staying Tuned to my TR, Really Glad everyone is enjoying it and I really appreciate all the great comments I receive. Now it’s time for this TR to continue

Day 2 Confusions

Being in Kruger after such a wonderful Elephant sighting it was time for me to make up my mind on what route to pick. This was a difficult decision for me as my head had something saying Pretoriuskop is WILD DOG country, but my heart said the S114 via the S112 and this was the most difficult decision I made , but eventually I followed my heart and the route was decided that we will travel the S112 joining us to the S114 and travel it to Afsaal because I really wanted to see Jocks waterhole.

So we start driving from the Elephant sighting and we were having no luck at all with no sightings at all. Not even Impi Warriors, and I started feeling that I made the wrong choice

What was going on, for some reason we could not even see a single car, Could we have teleported to the a part of the North which we have never seen before, it was like we were lost far away from Kruger, not a single car around, no sightings, NIKS. , we found this very strange, maybe people knew something which we did not

So we just kept on driving and in the hope of atleast seeing an Impi warrior on this road, but we were seeing Nothing at all. We were looking everywhere, far away, close by, right, left and there was nothing to be seen

Than out of nowhere we saw something , and the joy the car had at this sighting was unbelievable. It is just hard to explain the atmosphere in the car at this sighting.



These 3 Impi’s were the best sighting of the trip, when all hopes seemed lost, they bought the excitement left, but the Impi’s seem to be discussing something very important, as they did not pay attention to us. After a while of figuring it out , they decided to speak out a bit loud and they were discussing weather Brown Hyena’s do exist in Kruger or Not

The one was saying that they do exist, my mom told me that my Great Grand Dad saw one once upon a time, and the other 2 were like those are just stories of the past as they no longer exist, If they were around we would see them, and the conversion continued about this debate

What do you all think. Visit this Forum and give your say Brownie Project

The Impi discussion ended and they sat of on a mission to see if they could actually find a Brownie in Kruger and see if the Stories they heard of Brownies in Kruger are true or not





So that means it was our time to carry on and see if there were any WILD DOGS around

About 5 mins after the Impi warriors we came across the low water bridge with like a Dam Wall on the right hand side which made us feel that we were in water but we were not, I don’t really know what is this called as my knowledge of the South is very poor

This is what was inside, and he probably thought we were in the water as well





Strange thing was that he was on his own there, I wonder if there were more around but hidden from our very own eyes

After spending some wonderful time with the Hippo, we decided to carry on, but there was like a mini circle loop just after this low water bridge we decided to ignore and carry on, as we drove for about 1KM the circle was joining back onto this road but my eyes just spotted something and I SHOUTED STOP in EXCITEMENT

But what could this be, just close by a dam type of thing , the possibilities are countless!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stay TUNED to find out what could be this sighting.

Could it be the WILD DOGS?????????

Hey Kallis

Luckily we did not have to hang that long, but I'm well stretched now....

LOVE your ellies, love the excitmente you feel when those big bodies cross the road and not knowing if mama is going to stay calm. Nice young impies too.

Keep it coming

I believe that there are a few brownies in Kruger bit that they are ninja master hide and seek champions
Lovely imp sighting I just can't believe that you saw nothing. Not even birdies
Wow there is a lot of water there and I do wonder what did you guys see

Impies will never disappoint you, and they make such beautiful pictures Kallis1786!

I love your Hippo shots too! That certainly is a lot of water!

Ag nee man -

The suspense is killing me - Hope the next post is up soon!

neewat. what are you? The suspense King?

Love your entertaining TR

to see that the Impies having such a good discussion on the Brownies.

Now we have to wait....what could it be

Lovely impies.

Waiting in suspenders (not a pretty sight!!).....suspense!!

What a superb TR Kallis keep it coming.

We've all had those dry spells where all you see is bushes, bushes and more bushes and when you finally see life, you're overexcited regardless of what it may be!! Great impi pics and hippster. Can't wait to see what's next

Great impi sightings . Thanks for sharing

Agge nee man - you are not allowed to keep us on a line like this all the time, young Kallis! How must I keep my inquisitiveness at bay???

Did you enjoy the swim with the hippie?

Hi Guys

I would like to apologies to everyone following my TR for such a long delay

I will try my level best to update it 2mrw, I wanted to update it today but unfortunately due to my carelessness I completely forgot about an assignment which needs handing in 2mrw

So Please forgive for the long suspense and I will try every bit to try and update you guys 2mrw on what was that sighting

Hi Super Mongoose , I would first like to apologise for keeping you waiting for soo long and hopefully the wait is worth it. Glad you liked the Nellifants, We have learnt a bit of elephant behavior through books and televisions because of the high number of Ellies we see in the North, so we know when to keep our distance

Stay Tuned. Some Really great sightings to come.



Hi Heksie, I would first like to apologies to keep you waiting for sooo long , If Brownies do exist than certainly there mist be the Jacques Kallis of Hide and Seek. We saw nothing Heksie, I am dead honest,we are birders but eventually we started looking for birds as well but saw nothing. There was a lot of water. Stay Tuned. You'll enjoy the next 2 episodes



Hi Hilda firstly I would like to apologies to keep you waiting for soo long, I agree if there is one animal I can trust in the whole park, it would be Impi Warriors.There was lots of water, cant deny that.

Hi Norms, I would really like to apologies for the long delay , But the next episode will be up as soon as am done answering



Hi Cheetah, sorry for the delay bud.

They call Jacques Kallis 'King Kallis' because of the way he plays so since I am using his name, had to become the King of something, so King of Suspense seemed a decent idea , stay Tuned for the next episode, it is great



Hi Trrp , I would like to apologies for such a long delay. Your wait is finally over.



Hi Val , I would first like to apologies for the long delay. Thanks for your kind words. I really appreciate them. Stay Tuned. Some Great sightings to come

Hi SleepyOwl. I would first like to apologies for the long delay , I totally agree about that, after seeing bushes for soo long you just want to see anything. Thanks for the kind words. I really appreciate them. Finally my next episode is ready and will be up soon.



Hi Barryels. I would first like to apologies for the long delay . Thank you soo much for your kind words. I really appreciate them.



Hi Bushbud. I would like to apologies for the long delay , I agree to am not meant to keep you ona line for such a long time, maybe shorter periods would be fine . The swim with the hippi was awesome, never thought that would happen in Kruger.
