Envy is not good
. I'm just blessed to be living in a country that is blessed with so much wild life, and due honor must surely be given to Oom Paul Kruger, the president of the then Transvaal Republic, who realised the danger of over hunting and set aside some land for a reserve. Which of course grew to present day Kruher National Park, and influenced so many other countries and of course SA, so that today there is not one single province,(we have 9) that does not have a game or nature reserve within easy reach of all major cities and usually well stocked with game. Pilansberg (2nd only to Kruger in South Africa but which has unique fauna and flora, being on the edge of the arid west and which boast all of the big 5 as well as Wild dog, and the only place I have seen the Brown Hyena) is a mere 2 hours away, and easy enough to plan for a day's visit, which I have done on several occasions. Kruger is 4 hours away. Enjoy your day!
Here's a bird that I will always stop to photograph- teh Brown headed Kingfisher, which I mentioned before, doeslittle fishing, but is more partial to insects.
