Tuesday, May 24, 2011KRUGER PARK PHOTO QUICKIE Sunset Footprints in the sand Croc (miming "come to me!") Extremely dark giraffe (L) Ma & Bub Indecisive Waterbuck Waterbuck actually in the water - first time I've seen that! Buffalo More buffalo - the HDD* in the car ploughed into the herd. Vulture - waiting for breakfast methinks.As always, it was wonderful to get away to the Park again. The last time we went - in April - we saw a total of 17 rhino, but this time we didn't see one, so it really is the luck of the draw. A couple of interesting things; we saw a few zebra actually climbing up a huge termite mound to nibble fresh sprigs of grass & the waterbuck in the photos actually went in the water, which we've never seen before. Anyone would think they were allergic to it though, as their hooves barely touched the surface & it was so comical to watch. For whatever reason, a small herd of elephant that were hovering around a particular area were extremely aggressive. The matriach wasn't a problem, but several young bulls had a right strop & mock charged anything (including us) within a 15m radius. Something had spooked them - no idea what - and they stayed spooked for several hours. We made it back to camp with about 3mins to spare! I know it takes all sorts to make the world turn, but I just wish the idiots would stay out of places like the Kruger National Park. One particular bunch of morons took it upon themselves to sit on the grass at dusk, underneath a bat box in the camp & yell "Ja, kom, kom!" up into the soon-to-be night sky. To the best of my knowledge, a bat isn't a domesticated animal, so it's hardly going to respond to someone calling to it like an owner to his/her pet dog. The same bunch of morons took it upon themselves to crush the tranquility of the camp, by shouting out the score - at regular intervals - of a rugby match being played elsewhere in the country. Just picture it............thatched roof rondavels set out in a semi-circle........couples & families cooking the evening meal on the braai........the sound of night insects & occasional 'barking' of hippos in the river nearby............all of that peace & tranquility absolutely shattered into a million fragments by a fucking idiot, who just had to yell out rugby scores. Blue Bull** supporters shouldn't be allowed to leave the greater Pretoria region for any reason! On that happy note, I'll get myself off, to start on the 2nd instalment (bitchfest) of Africa Bike Week. (The first part is on the other blog) *HDD - Historically Disadvantaged Dipshit **Blue Bulls - A local rugby team comprising mainly of boneheads.
