Adrenaline rush time – after watching 2 stampeding rhinos cross the road just in front of us (we decided to give way to them as they rushed down the hill towards us) we watched this elephant from the other side of the bridge
then watched these 2 new species of swallow on the bridge
and went on our way – until we passed the bush behind where jumbo is, and he had decided to turn around and cross the road again. We were a few feet from him – decided not to hang around for more photos of a full frontal, and moved swiftly on!
Then a last drive out on the last afternoon in the Parks and caught up with these amazing creatures – watched them laze and stroll about for half an hour just a few yards from the road.
There was one male and 6 females or fully grown young ones – but just as our adrenaline was subsiding, Graham saw this in his rear view mirror
Never realised hyenas were so large – he wasn’t interested in us, but had good nosey at the lions, before wandering off again. It’s amazing how one minute all the animals are there and just as suddenly they completely disappear and vice versa just appear out of nowhere.
An amazing African safari experience for 10 days – all we could have hoped for and thank you to Gareth and Kate for recommending the area instead of the more obvious Kruger – it couldn’t have been any better. (PS We are back in your honeymoon suite at Goble Palms in Durban to post all these blog after being away from wifi for 4 days)
