During August 2015 we had the first sighting of Brown Hyena and African wildcat in the Kgalagadi. On the 11th Of March 2016 we took a visit to the Kruger and on this Friday it was raining all the way from Malalane to Skukuza and along the Sabie river to Lower Sabie. At Afsaal we could not even get out of the car and just continued to Skukuza. Two sightings of Elephant, Vulture sightings and Buffalo along the way.Then the sighting of a lifetime i.e 60 years of visits and we happen to see a Rock python along the way. Lying with a full belly in a gully next to the road. Unfortunately my pictures are not great due to the position of the Python under the bushes, at least I was able to photograph it in two parts. Always dreamnt of seeing a Python in the Kruger.It was also a great sight to see the Gasanfthombi dam near Krokodil bridge in flood overflowing. Will post some more photos of the buffalo and Elephant sightings as well as the numerous birds.

"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.
