February 2020. We are still in Tucson, Arizona, well, often anyway. We continue our wanderings and enjoying our adventures. We haven't lived outside the US in awhile, but have lived in: Guatemala, Ecuador, the Netherlands (twice), Germany (twice) and South Africa. We have now traveled to well over 100 countries, but that doesn't mean we plan on stopping any time soon. ... full info

Elephant at Dusk

The water holes at dusk were the BEST. We watched scores of elephants coming for a final drink, the the baboons came, guinea-fowl were vocalizing like crazy, as were the stocks, francolins, hornbills - magical!!

More Elephants at Dusk

This was a particularly large family, many little ones

Elephant Dust Bath

I know the photo doesn't seem clear, but that is because I was photographing a massive dust bath - at times you couldn't see any elephants at all

Impala, Female

Zebra

The rear-end of a zebra is usually what you see - they are fairly shy and almost ALWAYS turn their butts to the camera

Zebra

Baboon Troop

We had numerous baboon sightings. Water holes at dusk were great for seeing lots of animals, including baboons

Baboon Grooming

Baboon Mom & Baby

Baboon Family

You can really see how big the male is when compared to the female; the baby was tiny

Baboon Attack

Obviously I couldn't get photos of the baboons on top of our car, but there were many and their jumping and playing rocked the car while we just giggled and hoped they didn't damage the paint. Yes, we looked for baboon scat when we got to our accommodations

Giraffe

These were part of a large group we sat and watched for a long time (see video)

Giraffe Ears

Don't know if it is common, but many of the giraffe in Kruger had white ears, the backs anyway

This was ours for the one night we were in Satara - two bedrooms, two baths, kitchen

Skukuza Rest Camp

Looking forward to hot showers and recharging our electronics before going for 3 days to the wilderness camp, naturally there was a power outage - lasted all afternoon and into the night. We got our showers in the a.m., but not everything got recharged (limited plug adaptors).

Lower Sabie Restaurant

No, those are waves you are seeing, but the Sabie River - fabulous animal watching perch. Go to Page 4 for more photos
