The Bull Elephant from this morning

He was a litlle bit shy, and played Peek a Boo

The a shy Lioness as well

And off she went


WS

Nice one WS ...Love the Ele hiding behind the tree.......you really can't see me

The strange thing was it actualy stayed behind the tree for some time untill the Jigga moved for a better view. Then it went away.
WS

Wild Earth TV was'nt streaming on any Cams this morning
WS

Just caught the end of this afternoons drive, the cams streaming again now. A small herd of Elephants only caught a couple

Then from the Jigga with Mark

Then a couple of sunset shots at the end

The light goes vert quick


WS

Time for a sundowner good to see the eles WS and the sunsets are always spectacular.

Lai

Lai you must be getting excited for your safari this year, when you see and hear that!

SM

Too true SM - i am soooooooooooooooo excited, that's why I am always on the webcams and reading the blogs

There you are driving along, all nice, and peaceful.When two other inconsiderate road users just park in the middle of the road

You drive up, and toot your Horn. No response

So you have a word with the Guy on the left

Then you have a word with the Guy on the right

Thats when you notice they have a much stronger Horn than you do, and decide on a detour

Only to find there's more traffic in the shape of a Juggernought coming up on the right

Whilst arguing who has the right of way. You notice the other Guys really upset, he's got fluid running from his eyes, and temporal lobes, that means he MUST have right of way

you realise that when he tries to ram the back of your vehicle

Thats when you decide to give up, and ring the better half to say your going to be late. Your stuck behind a heavy load


WS

What a morning - that is so funny WS. Great commentary and certainly makes the morning commute interesting

It was cerainly interesting for Kat on camera. The Bull Elephant who was about 45 Yrs old was heavy in must. It charged the back of the Jigga, and blew dust, and twigs from its trunk that it had picked up off the road all over her it was that close. It really put the wind up her, the Guide was chuckling, he said he knew it was a false charge, because when Elephants really charge they put their trunk between their legs, and the ears are flat to the side, but this ones ears were flapping wide, and his trunk was in the air waving. I hope he's never proved wrong
WS

how brilliant was that to see then WS and fantastic commentary from you, that so made me giggle mind you I think I would have been a tad worried with him blowing stuff all over me too but it's interesting to hear about a false charge and what they do, I never realised they put their trunks between their legs, keeps it out of danger I suppose.

If it had been in this Country LW things would have been different. You dare'nt park in the road


WS

That is so funny but so true WS......you can actually see that happening

Just caught some news from the Drive Karula has new Cubs, dont know how many, and Induna and Mixo, havent met them yet. Been quiet the last two days after the Road Block. Yesterday the Camera ran out of power. Today Patrick was driving for about an hour finaly we got some views of Langer Monkeys, the Impala nearby and the Monkeys were giving out alarm calls. There was proberbly a Leopard close, but it could'nt be spotted








WS

Those are really nice pics WS
I have just got in and am so excited to hear the news about Karula it is just wonderful news. I wonder what sex they are? anyway, whatever they are I am sure they will be as gorgous as Mixo and Induna, those boys are a credit to Karula, I just hope they get along with the new cubs. Can't wait to find out more info on them

WS loving the traffic Jam!!!

Great monkey pic too.

SM

W E were having problems this morning streaming so sorry no Pics
WS

Thay have'nt had much luck on the Drive the last couple of days. Monday Patrick had a double puncture, so that was that, then yesterday it was raining to much. However it was on this morning
A Croc at Djuma resting up in the sun
and a White Faced Duck testing his luck

perhaps I can get a bit closer

Could be a bit Dodgy this

He does'nt look that friendly close up

Some Guinea Fowl that have not been around as usual on the opposite bank

and an Impala Buck on alert


WS

Got these on the morning drive. Mark was tracking a Leopard for over 1/2 hr, but finaly gave up, and headed to Gowri Dam, and it was WOW. Elephants all over the place


These two thought it was time for a dip


The smaller one seemed a bit nervous


Especialy as the larger one got further out, and said to his friend, dont come in its deep

It was amazing there were nearly 50 Elephants there, with small herds, and family groups coming, and going all the time
WS


Then he went under all together


but he was cheating, he was sitting on the bottom
