This white rhino was one of a group of three rhinos in the Berg en Dal area munching on grasses covered in the morning Dew on our last morning in the park.

This one looks a litle like the Giraffe is straining his neck to look, reminded me of an old BA advert...

This is a fully zoomed in photo taken from the same angle as "Spot the Elephant" (http://www.flickr.com/photos/jennerm/4559867397/), the guy that pointed this out must have amazing spotting skills!

Red Elephant Closeup

I love the colour that the soil has given the elephant in this closeup.

This was at the end of one of the best days of our last trip to kruger. We'd just completed the long drive down from Tamboti to Berg-en-dal and decided to do the last few k's on a dirt road when we encountered this lone elephant. I think he was as startled of us as we were of him as we rounded the bend and after rushing across the road and turning to look at us he wandered off into the bush.

This little dirt-road was amazing, we saw so much life and some amazing views all in the space of about 14km. I really like the landscape around Berg-en-dal, it's so unique in the Kruger (a succession of really steep little kopies (boulder hills)) and at that time of the year so full of life and a lush green landscape.

I'm afraid not too good a shot, but my only shot of this bird (so far).

Elephant in an African View

This is one of my favourite views of our last trip. It's scenery so typical of the area around Berg en Dal with it's hills and lush green landscape (well at this time of the year). There had been some rain recently and the elephant was a nice red colour from the soil in the local area.
