Kruger Park 05 Oct 11

Awesome sightings in Kruger yesterday despite the terrible weather!  12 lions on a kill, with bellies so full they couldn't move!  One lion actually fell asleep on the neck of the giraffe they killed!  Another on his back with his legs in the air like a puppy! 6 Rhinos lying in the middle of the road, huge herds of buffalo & elephant and a leopard.  At Sunset Dam there was a huge pod of hippo, one with an heron on his back, surfing across the dam!  And about 15 really big crocs.  Greg thinks that the river may come down if they are moving into the dams.

And of course the usual eejits who think it's cool to drive off road into the bush to disturb nature just because they can't take a good enough photo with their cell phones!

Will post some photos later

Bye for now,
Tracey
