In the morning light we could now see where we were. Our Safari Test was built on a wooden platform with a deck.
 And looked over the river which has water in at this time of year.  During an early morning around the camp a varety of foot prints could be seen in the sand.  The toilet rondawel.  The shared kitchen area, hot plates, sinks and water heaters.  Numerouse birds ran about the area and vultures crash-landed into the trees where they were nesting nearby.  Because of our car problems - the boot was jammed closed & we had arranged a swap of vehicles with the hire company- our drives were limited. We did a loop along the H7, S140 and S36. We wrote a list of what we saw within a certain time zone, which is fun, particularly when you look back and read how much you did see sometimes and how little at other times.   Map showing our journey on the first day.  Attached Image  |

We continued on our drive along deserted gravel roads.

   After swapping cars we continued our drive and stopped here to get out and enjoy the view. Kruger Park has a few areas where you can get out of your car at your own risk !        |

The sun was getting low and it was time to return to camp.
       Up at a reasonably early hour to pack and leave for our longish trip to Shingwedzi - sunrise from our deck.  Leaving Tamboti camp.  |
