More pics will eventually follow. We have a very intermittent signal and our dongle seems to have a mind of it's own. Saw Honey Badger today! :dance:

It is a struggle to get a good signal up North Normana53! Don't you worry about that! Just enjoy your time in the Park! Lucky to have seen a Honey Badger! :clap: :clap:

It was great to meet and talk with Petra and Scipio on our drive into Letaba on our first day. Much has happened since then. Many great sightings large and small. This fellow posed nicely for us.
Image
Later on we enjoyed watching someone else work for once.
Image
It is amazing how he would sometimes pick it up and toss it over rocks that he couldn't roll it over.
Hope this small taste will keep everyone interested until I can give our trip some serious attention.
Image
Until next time. Tomorrow night we stay at Shipandani Hide.

Heksie, I have a Nikon D90 and use 2 lenses - the majority of long shots are with Sigma 50-500mm, all of the others are with a Nikkor 85mm f/1.8 that is wonderful.

Val - I do hope we can meet today!

Everyone else, thanks for riding along.
