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.

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

Certainly a variety! You must have as many eyes as a spider to spot them all, from tiny to large!
