I've heard that Fatty is no longer at Pete's but this sure looks like him, lol. Maybe he's still there in spirit.

Why Hello there little one
Feather
Love those sun shots from Pete's. I like the way the light makes a 'star' from the sun.
Great timing
A treat indeed
Up close with a Wartie
Top of this post makes a very nice observation spot
The family that grooms together, stays together.

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 !!
Got on shortly before the Drive and found a few Buffs takin it easy.
Now a nap in the cool water, what a way to wind down the day.
"I was not nappin'"
"OK maybe just a little"
Looks like he won't be getting much more naptime in, LOL
"UMMMM, Hello. You do realize your sleeping in the water, right?"
"Can someone help me out here?"
"Anyone?"
Hard to nap when ya got Impala walking around.
Oh well ...
was a bit thirsty anyway.
"Are you gonna get up or what?"
"No thanks. Comfy right where I am."
"It's a big waterhole, go round to the other side."
Kudu show up too
"Well I'm outta here. To busy for me"
The whole gang
stoppin' by.
And Boonies too !
I see a little one there.
All in all I saw 3 little ones.
Very busy afternoon.
Then it was off to start the Drive. Lots of radio chatter and others around, hmmmm wonder what's up ??
A Boonie on the roof and he's not happy
Now just what does he see??
All are on high alert.
Pieter points out that just this morning there was a Leopard kill in a tree right outside one of the cottages but it's been moved across the way.
And there it is. Not all that far up this tree. But who's kill and where are they now ??
So it's off to find a Leopard. And the driving was into thick bush.
But leave it to Pieter to find what everyone is looking for ...
Karula !
All tuckered out and
catching a few ZZZZ's.
To bad I had to leave the Drive. Hope the remainder of the Drive was as exciting as the start.
HAPPY VIEWING !!
