A DAY AT DJUMA 1/17/09

Wartie family at the waterhole

Don't ya just love babies !

An awwwwwww moment.

3 little piggies

Time to move on

AM Drive. Interesting cloud formation


Ever wonder why Hippo's aren't all pruned from soaking in the water all day ? I have, lol.

Sunning. Also used as a display by males to attract a lady.

Got lucky and caught a yawn

awesome.



Another look at our sun tanning friend

PM Drive Dung Beetle working very hard



Rolled back down but tryin again.



Almost there

On the way back down

Determined little Beetle, isn't it.

Success ! ! !

You want past here ????

I thought I heard a noise.

What or rather Who is our next siting ??

Passed a small terepin

'hurrying' off the road on our way to investigate the new species, lol

Well it's friendly (see the smile, lol) I believe this is Pete out doing a bit of birding.

Wild Foxglove

HAPPY VIEWING !!

VARIOUS DRIVE HIGHLIGHTS

Fairly large herd of Impala

Reaching for a bite to eat

Rain over yonder (Rexon did a wonderful job of avoiding the rain while I was on)

Mama and calf

Out for a float

Beautiful Lilac breasted Roller

A few Zebra


This one is named "One Horn" Pieter said they've seen him around lately

Hey One Horn, how's it going?


Interesting how the tusks are a bit different


But they are long and strong and looking good !

Peek-a-boo, I see you

A stroll through the bush


Looking into their eyes sure makes me wonder what they're thinking

I think this was my shot of the Redbilled Hoopoe


Raffie's spots get darker as they age.

Close up


Known as the camp bandits ...

these Vervets have managed to get into just about everything, LOL

Can hardly see Pieter the bush has thickened up nicely.

Hey, who's the hitchhiker??

You know you have company, right ?

Full steam ahead !

Wild Jasmine. Bet that smells just heavenly.

Pieter points out a Lioness track for us.

A Man and his Trees. Pieter loves to get up a tree and check out the view.

A peek at a small troop of Vervet

Well that sums up what I have on the Drives. Long I know but it's so hard to choose which ones to post, lol. Very rarely is anything we see on a Drive not post worthy.

HAPPY VIEWING !!
