South Africa

Part 2

We stayed that night inside the Park at Skukusa in thatched-roofed cabins.

Back to the watering hole to see a Grey Heron catch a fish while crocodiles watched.

Duck.

Lots of monkeys alone the roads in Kruger.

Our second day in Kruger took us north. Elephants!

Female waterbuck.

Giraffe family.

Cape buffalo grazing.

A big bird, the Kori Bustard.

And the Red-crested Korhaan

Guinea hens along the road.

The Hamerkop.

The magnificent Black Rhino.

Dana feeding the Yellow-billed Hornbill and some Cape Glossy Starlings.

Hippos grazing and resting.

A few of the many impala we saw.

A male waterbuck.

A Cape Glossy Starling on cactus flower. Spooky eyes.

I asked this giraffe to pose for us.

A brief glimpse of lions after they killed an elephant. They were very far away resting in a river bed.

A Saddlebilled Stork. Interesting beak.

Vulture near a carcass.

A wildebeest.

A resting impala.

First zebra.

Elephants at a river.

Thorny small trees but the elephants ate them anyway.

The sky was dramatic all day.

Posing Zebra.

Warthog retreat.

Female waterbuck. Their body odor keeps predators away.

Many lovely flowers in South Africa.

Sunset. The roads were often like this, ridges that rattled your teeth.
