Hi Everyone

Thank You soo much for all your comments and compliments, I really appreciate it.

So now it was time to carry on with our drive after spending some time praising Mother Nature, and just admiring the Kruger.

As we started driving again and being Northerners, we were missing the elephants we see all to often in the North, and we wondering that we cant have that poor eyesight that we miss Nellifant sightings.

So we were driving along the South in the hope of seeing some WILD DOGS and missing our Elephants, and then we were rewarded with this special sighting. Please Forgive me People as this sighting happened mostly in front of the car, the dashboard kept coming in the way.



A baby Elephant and when ever there are babies around, the mothers should be around and there was not one but many babies and mothers, it was a huge herd of Elephants with lots of babies









WOW, What a fantastic sighting that was. We were missing the Elephants and we came across not one but a huge herd of Elephants , It was a lovely sighting which we really enjoyed with our engines off and just relaxing watching this herd. It was lovely and we felt like we were in heaven.

While sitting here we were deciding whether to go towards Pretoriouskop or take the S114 towards Malelane, and the decision was up to me and I have no idea but I picked the S114. What did I pick and was it the right decision as this time I was not have a King Cone, nor did I have my buddy to tell me the way

Stay Tuned to find out what decision did I take and was it the right choice.

Lovely ellie herd Kallis Methinks you are preparing us for something

Lovely Nellies
Its always special to see an elephant herd crossing

Kallis1786 (Thanks) Great TR and photos

But what a lovely sighting!

Lovely - a breeding herd of Ellies! They are creatures I can just sit and observe for hours...

Amazing elephant parade, Kallis,

we also can watch them for hours as long as they keep away from the vehicle

Kallis what a lekker ellie sighting man

Waiting with baited breath ........................!

King Cone not required.... when you had such a wonderful roadblock of Ellies with super pic

Awesome nellie sighting!!!!! I love watching these giants, but prefer to keep some distance between us...........just in case

Hi MM. Thanks for the compliment. I really appreciate it. Me preparing something , looks like you have been paying close attention to my TR. Stay Tuned and might just find out



Thanks for the kind words mate , I agree to see a herd cross is always very special, We see lots of single ellies crossing in the North but very few times when such a huge herd crossing the road. It was special. Stay Tuned, some very special sightings on itsway



Hi Philip. Thank You soo much for the kind words , they really were great elephants. But what could be coming next



Hi Hilda, Me being a Northerner, Seeing cars that close is something we encounter all too often, try the Mphongolo Loop for some very close Ellie experiences.

Hi Bushbud. Thanks. I agree, they are wonderful and very special. They are unique. Stay Tuned, some very special sightings on its way



Hi Pumbaa. I agree Elephants are fun to watch but for some reason, Elephants in the North like coming close to cars at times, sometimes it's too close to comfort. Hope you enjoying the TR and stay tuned, some very special sightings on its way



Hi Heksie, you ryt, they are not Wild Dogs but the herd with the babies was very special and seeing them soo close to our car. Not much I could do with it. Thanks for the compliments . I really appreciate them. Stay Tuned, some great sightings to come



Hi Val. Thank You soo much for your kind words. I really appreciate them

Hi Norms , your wait is finally over. My next episode will be up after this post.



Me being Superticious the King Cone led to this sighting, because it caused us that 5 mins delay at Skukz, which led us to the GRaff which spent a certain time from which we arrived at the Ellies, which made it ryt place at ryt tym , Am kidding, just follow your heart and it leads to some special sightings honestly saying. The ellies were a great treat for all of us. Stay Tuned. SOme great sightings to come



Hi Sleepyowl. Thanks for the kind words , I agree they really are wonderful creatures, and distance is something but a word especially being a Northerner and having close encounters on every trip with these ellies just got us used to it. Stay Tuned. Some special sightigns on its way
