Birdwatching in the rain.

One of the Hooded vultures.

The rain hampered game viewing on the weekend of 11th March but there is plenty more to experience.

Vultures squabbling over the last scraps of a carcass when Hyenas had already given up. Giant Kingfishers getting their meal. Great Egrets and Little Egrets wading the water for something to gobble down. A Purple Heron standing dead still hoping for something to come its way. Green- Backed Heron jumping from rock to rock searching. Yellow - billed stork moving up and down sweeping the water for the days meal.
Sunset Dam and the Lower Sabie bridge never disappoints.

Birds are constant subjects to view and photograph - in the camps and out in the parks. so when people say they saw 'nothing' they are the 'lion' people - no lions = saw nothing! Give us birds anyday!

"It's 768 pages of the most amazing information. It consists of, well, everything really. Photography info...area info...hidden roads..special places....what they have seen almost road by road. Where to stay just outside the Park...camp information. It takes quite a lot to impress me but I really feel that this book, which was 7 years in the making, is exceptional."            - Janey Coetzee, founder of CAROK (Camps and Roads of Kruger)  South Africa

"Having a passion for the region itself and having to know about all dynamics, water holes and ideal roads for a period of 6 years - I wish I had this guide on my first trip already!" - Morkel Erasmus, Secunda, South Africa
