Your Weekly Highlights Package

So its been a little while since the last post but you know how things go, busy busy.
I've been out and about since I got back from leave, managed to spend five amazing days in the Kruger National Park's Lebombo concession with some very cool guests and now back in action in the Sands.
Lebombo Sunset



So I actually didn't end up taking to many photos while in the KNP as I was too busy trying not to get lost, or at least appear like I knew where I was or where I was going at all times, eventually i gave in and had an eleven year old girl navigate me pack to camp. AWESOME!!!!





Southern pride young males still looking more impressive by the day becoming buffalo killing machines,






Every month I look forward to the moon when its at its fullest, there really something magical about being out in nature when this celestial globe illuminates everything with its soft blue glow. So as expected this months was just as brilliant I decided to take a drive out and sit in the middle of the Sand river and just absorb it all, no- one else just me and the man in the moon. Naturally I took the camera with and got some stuff for you. Make me wanna sing Frank Sinatra's Moooooooooooooon riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiivvvvvvvver wilder than a mile . . . . . . . . . . . ..

Spring has sprung and things are heating up fast, I'm pleased to report that the short pants have been broken out and the sock tan is well under way. This little spotted bush snake lives outside my neighbour's place and seem to be relishing the warming days as he spends more and more time out in the sun.



Highly Dangerous - I could have died



And now for the moment you have all been waiting for.........................................................................................................................................

So whilst out on drive four days ago, myself and Pete, my trusted friend and sidekick, decided we would venture out to an area of the property that we have no clue about in search of  a change of senery so as we pushed on to parts unkown I was driving and doing a little bit day dreaming when Pete all of a sudden shot up and through out a string of words that nobody could understand, however eventually after calming him down he managed to point to a clump of grass where it lay, PANGOLIN @&!@%$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! only my third EVER, we both couldn't really contain our excitement as we hugged each as only a guide and tracker can (you wouldn't understand). I think in hind sight that appealed more to gay guests than the animal itself. 
TOO COOL FOR WORDS!!!!!!!!
