Sweetwaters

The story about Sweetwaters is, the place used to be owned by Gun runners and was taken over by the government. The house is huge, the bed in the master bedroom is a big as two or more King size beds. We stayed in a side bungalow, very nice.
Here are some afternoon shots.
This is an old Buck here. Elands are the largest of the antelope group in Africa.

I light snack from the treetops.

There must be a female in heat near by for these guys to be showing off like this.These two Jackels were out looking for a scap to eat as well.
We saw them a bit later with a Thompsons Gazelle leg.

Morning animals at Sweetwater.

Could this be, an African Swamp Donkey?

No, just a Water Buck
Mother Baboons carry little ones on either the front or the back.

The graceful Impala

This Lion couple was, just that, a couple. This was our first few of them.



Good looking fella.
I didn't need a reminder to stay in our vehicle after seeing this.



We took a lot of pictures of big and small game, but I like the birds as well. There were very beautiful birds in all of the parks. Here is just a few we saw at Sweetwaters.
