After a short night's sleep we planned to leave the gate at 6am. Well, that didn't happen. We had a light breakfast on the porch and got caught up watching all of the birds, that led to a drive back to the restaurant and an hour watching birds at the dam.
When we finally left Mopani we drove the Tropic of Capricorn Loop and then headed south towards Letaba.Here are a few of the things we saw along the Loop:
This is a juvenile Wahlberg's Eagle, he didn't move a muscle while I took my photos.
A Slender Mongoose posed so that I could get a good shot.
This Hornbill kept us laughing while we watched him searching for food, and chasing off the other birds that got too close.
This mom and two little ones were part of a large group of over 25 Ellies.
All this and more just on a 22 mile (36km) loop, More later from the H1-6 road to Letaba Camp!
We already miss Kruger, and can't wait to return!
