Tuesday, March 13

We stopped in at Satara for a rest stop. There is where we would be staying during our second night in Kruger.

The photos will show you the scenery and animals we saw during the late morning and afternoon.

Ostrich

Kori Bustard – the world’s largest flying bird. Phil told us it is rare to see these. An adult is between three and four feet in height.

Southern ground horn bill

I don’t have a note on this bird, but it may be a bee-eater of some kind.

Our first sighting of a steenbok. They are very tiny. A buck is about 22 inches tall.

During the flood in 2000, the river covered the bridge.

Goliath Heron

Water Buck

Herd of impala

Kudu competition

Elephant conference

Lunch at Olifants restaurant

We stopped at our “chalet/motel” in the middle of the afternoon

A beautiful moth

I expect this is Jared’s hand, because he is the one who captured critters.

These bushbuck were in the yard of our motel.

Day 1 in Kruger continued in my next post.
