Good Evening to you all again..what an amazing week I had with my Mother in Law…I really wanted to show her Kruger the way I have experienced it and Kruger did not disappoint us!
I know that last week I showed you, what I thought was a close up of a Leopard, but this week was just so much more special…so close to us that I could actually hear it breath!
So as a storm is brewing again over Kruger I have to make this very quick..and give you the highlights of the week…
This leopard walking in the road…giving us such a show..the 3rd Leopard MIL has seen with me…just so thankful that she could see it a well…first she stopped to “mark her territory”
Then she started moving closer to us….and I got this pic of leopard on the move…
and with all the excitement and the Leopard so close to me, I forgot to change the settings on the lens and only got this very not so good pic…it could have been so awesome…
We also drove the very busy road from LSabie to Skukuza and found some lions on the side of the road but int he bush…I already had it in my mind to come back to see them……
Dropped MIl off at her bungalow and I went back to the lions…a real hot day….sitting in the car for 3 hrs just waiting…but, I got rewarded with this male coming walking out of the bush…right towards me…
and then walking right passed me….
As Ive said before Kruger is not just about lions and leopards there is just so much to see>>>and this was no exception>>>we also found this Eagle that caught a mongoose sitting in a tree…really the best pic I could get of it…
and off course the Impala babies are just so cute…this one gave me such a classic portrait pic…really all ears and not much else…
I also just loved this pic of the Elephants crossing the veld close to the mountain…..the contrast I think was just so great…
and with summer here all the birds are coming back…and I was just so lucky to get this pic of an Amur Falcon…
and the Bateleurs who are such beautiful birds, but not when they are young..cant believe that this ugly duckling will turn into such a beautiful bird…..but he first had to show me that he owns the road…..
and no Kruger experience is ever complete like the sunsets with a sunrise…and today I have one for you, thanks to my mother in law for waking me up at 4 am!!!
With that the end of my week in Kruger…
Speak again next week

I actually heard your daughter speaking on 5fm a month or so back about your Kruger dream, think she was going to join you for a while at that time… Love the pic of the baby Impala, they are just gorgeous. And that Bateleur really walks like he owns the road. Enjoy and have a blessed Christmas in Kruger.
Hey Martie,

Keep living the dream………
