Sherry and I were scanning the Mazithi water hole one afternoon when we noticed a fish eagle down near the water. When we put binos on it we noticed it appeared to be guarding the head of an impala. There were no other parts of the impala in sight. It was almost as though it had carried it there (not likely). Other impala were moving by and looking, but none went near it. Just a strange sighting, which occurs when you spend time in the park.

"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
