Letaba

This is a post with lots of pictures, but I've tried to keep the descriptions brief. :)

After leaving Shingwedzi we traveled south-east through the game reserve to Letaba Camp. The journey took us about  and on the way we passed the Tropic of Capricorn marker, pictured below.

The Bridge over the Letaba River. The drought is not as bad here as it is further North and there's still water in the river.

A Bushbuck walking around inside the camp.

We stayed in a family bungalow, right near the camp fence and had a wonderful view over the river and surroundings.

One doesn't even have to drive out if you don't want to - you see so much from the camp.

Walking in the camp - although the weather is hot, there are signs of Autumn setting in.

Jessica and I went for a walk along the camp fence.

In the late afternoon we took a drive further up along the river.

A Crocodile basking on the river bank.

We saw quite a number of animals, including this herd of elephants. After they had drank at the river they made their way back up the banks and crossed the road just behind us, (picture below). There were lots of babies and youngsters in the herd.  

This young Elephant bull was last to cross the road after the herd and he was not in a very good mood, trumpeting and thrashing around in the bushes!

After the being held up by the Elephants, we made it back to camp just before the gates closed for the night and then prepared the braai for supper. :)

One of the many little Geckos which come out at night and crawl along the outside walls of the bungalows, hunting insects which are attracted by the outside lights.

Jessica and I went for another walk along the fence just as it was getting dark and then came back to a delicious supper of braaied Wildebeest steaks. :)
