    @A new day.

    Are you staying inside the park, or one of the resorts outside??

    @Reedfish one of the resorts outside. We’re just going to take it easy today, not sure we’ll do another kruger day trip this time around as it was very taxing on the little guy yesterday :)

    I sort of know what you mean.
    We have been taking my two (now teens) to game reserves ever since they were really little.
    My son is like me and could spend hours in the car without complaining.
    But my daughter got bored very quickly, and unless there were regular sightings made it a bit of a mare for the rest of us :rolleyes:

    Such a lovely lunch spot next to a dam, we’ve gone 2 days in a row!

    They say the dam is stocked with kurper and bass, wish I new more about indigenous species... amazing range of dragonflies and also butterflies :thumbup:

    Thanks, luckily I had the camera nearby. I am moving stuff to campus now, and the wild insects are lovely to watch. Jan Marais nature reserve is also fantastic!
