Have just caught up on your 2012 adventures - and yes, it looks as if you and Dungie might just survive out here in the African bush :wink:

Love your daily pics and hope you get to see your klippie and dassie today :pray:

Lovely bird interaction and love your little yellow jobs. :thumbs_up:

That baboon does look so pensive.

I'm so glad the Starling fledgling managed to get back to it's nest Val! :dance:

You were entertained by such a variety of birds! Thanks for the beautiful pictures! :clap:

Looking forward to the next episode. :popcorn:

All caught up again!

Lovely that you got to meet EJ and Chirinda and great too that you got to see “your” klippie and Desmond the Dassie!

Lovely photos – especially the beautiful male bushbuck and the brown hooded kingfisher.

I know what you mean about getting that “almost dark getting light factor” but you don’t ALWAYS get that when staying in the park … it beats me as to how SanParks go about deciding when gates open!

Aaaaahhh … so the impalas are looking very pregnant and some babies have been seen??? I was wondering about that today, actually!

Great secretary bird photos – especially the one with four legs!!!

How exciting that there are FOUR Paradise FlyCatchers in the garden … can’t wait to see them! Love the birdie shots take in the garden!

Update on babies coming up!! :thumbs_up:

Val, Looks like you have been busy in the park with lots of great adventures and sightings. Hope your electricity keeps on for the rest of your stay. It was so great to meet both of you and spend time visiting. We are so glad you enjoyed the Copper River Salmon. I was worried we wouldn't meet up, and I would have been forced to give it to a random passerby in the park! :shock:

We are getting adjusted to the home time zone, but I am missing the warm Kruger spring already.
Happy you have got to say hello to your little friend in the rocks.

Welcome home Norman..............hold that thought about our little friend in the rocks!! :whistle:

I love it when I see people still so eager to get to SA and spend so much time in the Kruger. also your love for Cheetahs is definitly a common ground between us. I just love them. I would suggest you to visit the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre, it is really something amazing and you need to experience it first hand. It is more about Rehabilitating Cheetahs so definitely a must see. Check them out. http://onthemap.co.za/attractions/hoeds ... es-centre/ How is the weather in the Kruger currently ? Gee the rest of SA specially where we are in Gauteng, it is HOT HOT HOT, lol. Enjoy the rest of your trip!!
