Week 10 - Mkuze Camp Pictures

Since I am able to use a good internet connection today, here are some photos from my time at Mkuze as promised in my previous blog post.  Cheers and I'll be updating another blog post on Monday :-).

Black rhino mother with calf - she's the one we surprised and mock charged us before turning around and running away.  This is a fantastic photo taken by one of the volunteers, Tania Taylor.

This white rhino mother and calf were one of the many rhinos that came to the water hole on the night we spent at the hide.

This black-backed jackal was gorging itself on a carcass that the Mkuze ecologist and I laid out for the vulture survey.  He had a very full belly after about an hour of feeding.

 This is a group of white-backed vultures and a couple of lappet-faced vultures seen one morning while we were on our way to find the wild dogs.

This female suni stuck around for about 5 minutes while we took photos when we were looking for the wild dogs in a thick bush area.

Leopard tortoises came out onto the road to drink water from the puddles during the rainy days.  This picture is for you Steve :-).

The view of a portion of Mkuze from a rocky high point.

These are fever trees.  This forest of trees was so beautiful and quite peaceful.  

The night of the blue moon.  This night was really warm and clear and the moon was so bright that night.
