The first week of our summer at Satara in the Kruger National Park concluded with the sun finally putting in an appearance again after four days. All kinds of insectivorous birds and animals feasted on emerging termite and ant alates, while many different kinds of frogs were jumping at the opportunity to mate in newly formed pools of water and we de Wets took the opportunity to take part in a guided night drive.

Just catching up on your trip as have been off-line for a few days. How lovely to see the sun again! Your photographs are awesome.
Thank you very much, Helen. Hope you had a safe trip back home?
We had a safe trip to Kokstad where we are now visiting relatives. Tomorrow we leave for Plettenberg Bay wherever we will spend Christmas with our kids and grandkids. We will only be home after 5 January. We are the galavanting grandparents😂
Seeing such a variety of animals makes me feel envious. What a job that you have! By the way, congratulations! For the South African Miss Universe. Great post my friend! 🙂
Thanks, H.J. I didn’t even know we have a new Miss Universe again – while we’re out in the bush we detox from all news (really a must in this day-and-age)
I’m smiling after seeing all these wonderful animals. I like the bright color of the weavers and the heads of the frogs sticking out of the water are always cute.

There’s so much to take pleasure in at a place like Kruger Park!
What a fantastic gallery of creatures, Dries. Love the frogs. 😳
Thanks,again, Sylvia!
What a fantastic gallery – hard to pick any favourites. The rain is bringing bounty to many already.
The transformation of the veld happening in front of our eyes, and the newborn animals we see every day, really makes it quite magical!
How amazing to be there for this transformation.
The vulture drying off–such a great capture.
Thank you, Lois!
A lovely array of photographs today!
Thanks again, Anne!
Ek het die voorreg gehad om eenkeer daardie African green pigeons te sien in Potgietersrus.
Jy het hier n pragtige versameling fotos. Heel uiteenlopend.
Dankie Ineke!
Ons het nog nooit vantevore so baie papegaaiduiwe gesien nie.
Lyk dan dat hul goed oorleef.
I love the baby baboon photo.
Thanks PJB! They’re as cute and adorable as you can imagine!
