Animals - Shitloads

  Has taking me a while to get round to getting these pics up due to the fact that I've been busy getting home and there was a whole lot of sleeping involved in that. But anyways...
  I left Jeffreys Bay drove to Port Elizabeth and flew back up Jo'Burg to meet my sister.After a solid night of eating lots of meat at a braii at a family friends house we got up super early and drive down to the province of Kwazulu Natal to the Nambiti Game Reserve. where we spent two days lying around, eating and od course ripping round the bush in a jeep trying to spot some animals. We saw four of the big five, leopards being the only only not seen, but they're elusive sneaky cats anyway. Was an amazing experience...seeing the sunrise come up over the plains and hills, and spotting the animals grazing, feeding or generally just lying around as they themselves are either waking up to the new day or sheltering from the  midday sun. Jeffrey, our guide on the drives was an absolute legend, sharing loads of information about the animals and the area around us.Apparently this 22,000 acre reserve was once the site of battles in the Zulu - Boer wars, and as a result there were plently of unmarked graves scattered across the hills. Here's a few of the pictures I took from the 40 hrs I spent here.
