Safari time

This time not a new experience, but I don't mind, I could do this all the time without getting bored. Off to one of my favourite spots, the bushveld, more specifically the South African Lowveld. I guess it needn't be the lowveld, just throw in wild with a couple of animals and preferably off the beaten track; a perfect mix.

This time Kruger was a bit odd we saw unusual animals. Lots of kudu males, stacks of marabou storks, quite a few ground hornbills (including a nesting site) and a couple of ostriches. In fact there is a poster in Letaba that asks one to take note of and send information regarding sitings of the following rareish or of interest birds: fish eagle, saddle billed stork, marabou stalk, ground hornbill, kori bustard and secretary bird. We saw them all except the secretary, and lots of them.

It is the most relaxing way to spend ones time, early mornings, early to bed, fresh air and not much to fret about. The perfect antidote to concrete and traffic.

It is something special being able to see the animals in the wild.
