On Safari - Kruger National Park

Our home for three nights - Honeyguide's Khoka Moya Camp.

Giraffes are always great to stumble across. Tall, and graceful with colouring that makes them stand out (not good for avoiding predators).

Philip, our tracker (left) and Lyton, our guide and driver(centre), prepare 'sundowner' drinks as we watch the spectacular sunset. You can see the colour of the light here. Not only very capable and engaging, they were great guys and made our visit to the game reserve adacent Kruger National Park such a great one.

We were lucky to see Rhino's on at least three occasions - I believe it's pretty rare to see them at all.

We (or more to the point Philip) tracked this Leopard for some time before we finally sighted it. Definitely worth the wait.

These are the remaining vultures tucking into an unfortunate buffalo. There were more than three times as many as we approached - but they didn't hang around.

Lyton shares lunch with us - as he did with all the meals here - in the outdoor dining room. The food was quite gourmet, and plentiful.

Scrabble was out mid morning game, followed by soccer, a swim and then lunch before the afternoon safari. Life's tough...
