Thanks, Mark. It was a bit of a rushed trip to run the Skukuza Half
Marathon. 270km from Phalaborwa to Lower Sabie through the Park on the
Friday & then back on the Sunday. With a speed limit of 50km/h, game
sightings & refreshment breaks it becomes at least an 8 hour trip. We saw &
photographed a lot of stuff but I think people will be bored by shots of
individual animals without a story so I only posted the Panos & the Giant
Kingfisher. We actually saw 4 big herds of Buffalo. The Aloes were already
past their best. The K7 will soon be here!
Regards
Alan

A couple of Panos from last weekend in Kruger. Right click to chose a
larger size & then pan L & R.
Olifants Camp is situated high on a ridge on the E bank of the Olifants
river. From here you can see for miles. There used to be a pay telescope
at the point from which I took these 5 stitched photos but it was
vandalised & removed. This is a favourite spot for tourists, especially
those sporting big white lenses. My humble K110D was the rose among the
thorns. The Pano is roughly 180deg, looking W.

Buffaloes live in matriarchal herds comprising several hundred
individuals. The mature bulls graze alone or in small groups to build up
strength for periodical sex orgies. This herd of about 300 was basking in
the mid-day sun south of Satara camp.
