KRUGER


The biggest and most famous gamepark in South Africa
We wanted to see a leopard to complete the big five
We spotted on,actually saw all the big five here.plus lots of other game.not as much,and not as easy to see as the Okavango and Moremi.no where near as many rhinos as Hluhluwe.


The leopard was resting near this cave.he got up for one leisurely stroll,then went back to sleep

BRC - THE THREE RONDEVALS

This is the best scenary in the canyon
A rondeval is a round hut with a conical hut

Bourkes Luck Potholes

Another pretty stop in BRC
The museum had some nice prints

BLYDE RIVER CANYON! South Africa.7nov13 .BERLYN FALLS

Back in south africa,we visited this canyon on the way to kruger
Berlyn falls was a pretty detour

PREDATORS- Moremi- Wild Dogs

Two wild dogs appeared out of the bushes,distinguished by their big ears.suddenly they were off chasing a herd of impala.they singled one out,which escaped into a large shallow waterhole.then the crocodiles moved to kill.one croc got a bite on the impala,but it escaped and got out on other side of water.the wild dogs watched but did not follow.then we found a large pack of wild dogs,resting in the shade
Using e blogger app- cannot delete lion picture I accidently loaded,and blog shows wild dog pictures in reverse order to how they were loaded!

Moremi- elephants

The elephants were so impressive every game park

Lions are one of the big five,so wevwere so excited to find this pride of lions.They were resting undre a tree,obviously having recently eaten.Moses parked the 4x4 quiet close,for nive viewing.the lions mainly just ignored us
