Another beautiful day in the Kruger Park. Our drives took us along the Timbavati River in the morning, and along the Gudzani and Nwanetsi streams in the afternoon, and we were rewarded with more amazing encounters with beasts both great and small, creatures dainty and robust, scaled, feathered and furred.

Beautiful gallery and all in a day’s work!
I’d love to have this as a full-time job!
I just want to be back there!
I can imagine, Helen! I don’t even want to think that we’re almost half-way through our time here…
Really nice gallery.
Thank you, P J B!
Wow! More and more animals, what a park! Great post, D. 🙂
Kruger really deserves its reputation as one of the best National Parks in the world.
That cat looks so much like mine. Nice shots!
Thanks, Siobhan! The African Wild Cat is one of the forebears of our domestic tabbies.
Oh, that laughing elephant calf!!!
Isn’t he the cutest!?
Is it day 10 already? My, how time flies when you’re having such fun!!
It really is going past TOOO QUICKLY!!!
I am guessing your lily is a River Lily (Crinium macowanii). You delight us with another wonderful array of photographs.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, Anne! At least I was right in thinking it might be related to the Amaryllas
Weereens ‘n wonderlike versleidenheid. Dries, is die Vagrant Butterfly wit of liggroen?
Baie dankie, Aletta! Vir my lyk hulle wit, maar my kleurblindheid kortwiek my dalk! 😀
😃
What a marvellous gallery, Dries. So gladdens the heart.
Gladdens my heart to hear you say that, thank you Tish!
Great post 🙂
Thank you!
Certainly a variety! You must have as many eyes as a spider to spot them all, from tiny to large!
It’s easy in Kruger!
Well, I never seemed to find it as easy as you do. I remember countless kilometres with sightings of nothing but impala!
