Jeff pitching tent at Crocodile Bridge rest camp.
My fourth trip to Kruger, and my first lion sighting!
They were this close to our car!
There were 7 or 8, and they all filed past our car (and all the other cars that were parked at this turnaround to see the lions).
Even a young cub (on the left)!
A glossy Cape starling sits on elephant dung. The park is lousy with elephants, and, therefore, elephant poop.
A lilac breasted roller. There were so many times I wished for a better camera, especially for the birds.
A southern ground hornbill. This is a big and funky bird. His voice sounds mechanized.
A lone zebra.
A goliath heron in the Crocodile River on a bridge close to Lower Sabie rest camp. We stayed on the bridge quite awhile and saw crocodiles, hippos, and other birds.
A blue wildebeest, also known as a gnu (the g is pronounced).
Some of a herd of about 14 elephants.
Looks like a family unit.
Others watched with us as the herd crossed the road.
Elephants drinking from the dam below our picnic spot (in the middle, on the left).
One buffalo of a huge herd.
Euphorbia, or candleabra trees.
A view of the open plain from an overlook spot.
Jeff stands next to the southernmost baobab tree.
Jeff observes crocs and hippos from a bird blind.
A giraffe with two red-billed oxpeckers.
A waterbuck can be distinguished from other antelope-types by his lyre-shaped horns. And the target on his butt.
Mushrooms growing in elephant dung.
Another lilac breasted roller. I love these guys and can't resist taking photos.
An almost tame bushbuck at the Letaba rest camp.
Jeff at the Phalaborwa Gate, from which we exited the park.
The actual Phalaborwa Gate.
A controlled bush fire on the road to God's Window.
The Three Rondavels above Blyde River Canyon on the Mpumalanga Panoramic Route.
