A soggy day in the Satara area today, but still the Kruger National Park dished up the magic – from terrapins and frogs on the wet roads to different birds feasting on them and emerging termites, to every member of the famed Big Five!

So amazing and fantastic to see the rain!
A blessing in this dry country of ours, Pam!
💕💕💕
Brilliant that there is rain and that you are still able to see so much. Hope that your camp is snug and dry!
The rain is very, very welcome and much needed. Unfortunately our campsite’s a little “damp” as a result…
Hope you all stay warm and dry. At least you have fantastic sightings to warm the heart, and the knowledge that the rain is so needed.
We didn’t mind the rain at all, and neither the loadshedding that has SA, including Satara, firmly at ransom again.
The photograph of the African Green Pigeon is lovely.
Thank you Anne!
Pragtig en so bly dit reën, al is dit nie altyd goed vir dierekyk nie…geniet elke oomblik, Dries.
Al die veld is vrolik, Dina, in weer soos hierdie. Ons ook!
Wonderlik, julle is weer in die wildtuin!!!
D.V. tot die 4de Januarie, Una! Hemels!
Ek glo jou absoluut, de Wet! Hemels. En hierdie weer is so lekker vir rondry. Het die Noorde reën gekry?
Self was ons nog nie verder Noord as Letaba op hierdie besoek nie, maar as ek hierdie wolke so kyk glo ek dit reën so regdeur die Laeveld.
What beautiful color on the hornbill! It looks like it’s in the middle of a conversation.
Telling the termites how good they taste!
You really have some rain I can see. It’s more like a monsoon! Which it’s good and promotes growth and activate dormant eggs and many seeds too. It is fascinating wildlife at their best! Thanks, D. 🙂
Definitely a rejuvenating weather system passing over Kruger at the moment!
Brilliant to see that the rain has arrived.
I love your impala and lioness photo, Dries. I suspect a little too close for comfort for the impala though.
I bet they were glad they saw her – it’s the one you miss that get’s you!
fabulous
Thanks Julie!
More wonderful sightings! That impala is on high alert and with good reason.

The lions were intent on having impala for breakfast, that’s for sure!
Wonderful leopard in a tree! At Lower Sabie, we only got to see the ears of some lions and a leopard’s impala hanging in a tree just outside the camp!
Ground Hornbills are always awesome to see.
There is always something wonderful to experience in Kruger!
You are so right, Helen, and we’re so excited to see what else comes our way over the next few weeks.
Lovely
Thank you, Kelly!
Thanks, Kelly!
