Kruger Day 5...

Slowly, but surely, I'm getting there. Not many more holiday photos to show, just 3 days to go. I know I'm behind and I know I should've posted these while I was away, but I couldn't. I promise to be more efficient next time!! The picture above was the view from our balcony at the Olifants rest camp.

Lazy hippos, enjoying the sunshine. Seriously, I've never seen any animal move so slowly, it's really hard to believe they're extremely vicious animals...

All in a row from biggest to smallest... A Baobab (or upside-down) tree...A Red Headed Weaver weaving his nest...These buck, Impala, are extremely common in the park. They're commonly referred to as bush burgers due to the 'M' on their bums...A Hammerkop (hammer head) with an iguana in the back ground. The Hammerkop was very sceptical and only moved when the iguana was completely out of sight... Some scenery...And then this! We came across 4 lions, a mother and three juveniles, enjoying a meal of kudu... They put on such a beautiful show for us, it was a dream come true for me and it's been really tough selecting my favourite photos to put up here. And even though some of these aren't 100%, they're still great in my books. This is a young female, licking her lips after her feast...

She seemed intrigued by the gathering of cars (we were probably about 150 - 200m away from them)...

Purrrrrfect... After a drink, she lazed, enjoying the last few rays of sunshine for the day... Her sister came over to join her and they enjoyed some sisterly bonding time... This is their brother, typical boy, he'd messed his food all over his face...As the sun set, the vultures flocked in, no doubt to claim their share of the lion's prize. This is a lappet faced vulture. They're REALLY ugly...The moon came up and we raced back to our campsite, just before the gates closed for the night. Incidentally, this kill was just along the river from where we were staying and you could actually see the cars from our balcony...
