Our drive begins with a lovely breeding herd of elephants, carefully shielding their little babies between two adults and always knowing where they are putting their feet to not disturb them. Some little ones nurse happily.
White spoonbills are up in the trees along with the huge condomium weaver nests, where many of them form nests together high int he trees for shelter.
Jonny finds the dog pack again and is happy they are together and doing well.
At one waterhole we find a huge kudu with his ladies, warthogs with babies kneeling to drink or eat grass in a strange way, lots of waterfowl, the colorful Egyptian geese, a tortoise, jackal and zebras with a baby zebra, all down for their morning drink.
Later we are treated to an amusing impala ballet, when a mountain Reebok invades their property. Much diving, swooping, leaping, air jumps as he is chased all around, but refuses to abandon his right to water too! Hilarious.
We then pass a bunch of huge black Cape buffalo wallowing in a mudhole, don’t they love it.
And to finish off a warthog with two wee ones, feeding from either side of her not too far away from our truck.
A fitting end to our wonderful introduction to all the beauty and amazement of the bush here i South AFrica.
