Well done again on the Bushbuck bro! That was awesome!    ;)  

While working on the ranch, I had the pleasure of accompanying and helping Mark (our uncle) on a tour in the Kruger National Park. We took 2 guests from the USA around the park for 3 days. Photography is a passion for me, so here's some of my pics from the Kruger! The Kruger is a very special place, and I really do recommend that if you are in South Africa, you make an effort to go there at least once!

Impala
 
White Rhino...this was on the bush walk. We were only 30 meters from this herd, and they were as chilled as a freezer!  :D  It was absolutely incredible experiencing these prehistoric looking animals so close!

I was just going thru more of my pics, and found this one and thought I had to share it. I was driving in the Kruger, when I saw this Eagle flying at a distance, carrying the Guinea Fowl it had caught. It flew along side the car at about 100 meters for about a kilometer when it stopped for a rest on this tree. It was a really special sighting!   ;)

Yep, it sure was an awesome trip! There's not much that beats sharing a hunt in the African bush with mates like this! It was a pleasure Andy & James!     :D     I can't wait for the next trip!

   
 

I hope everyone has enjoyed sharing our experience with us!     ;)
