… we hired a boat, together some friends, to reach Ilha dos Portogueses and Ilha de Inhaca (to have an idea of what I'm talking about, just look  here  or  here  !), a couple of beautiful islands at the end of Maputo Bay. It has been a very nice day trip, with lovely friends ! We were lucky to see in the distance, while approaching Ilha dos Portogueses, some dolphins and a WHALE !!!! But I don't have any picture of them, as they were a little bit distant from us!!! We had lunch on Ilha dos Portogueses, that is even a natural reserve and you have to pay tickets once you land on the beach. Quiet and wonderful, as we wished for !!! I'm sharing some pictures with you … xxxx, Alessandra

Saturday 14 February we decided to have a day out at Macaneta (our beach gateway!) and I decided to take some random pictures ( on the ferry to the beach ) with my smartphone, without thinking about the composition of each photo… I was just clicking and clicking !!!! Maybe some good shoot was taken (even a silly one with me in a hat and a stamp of Matteo…. how it happened is still a mystery to me !!!!) …. You can find more beautiful pictures over  HERE , at  luzia pimpinella  !!!! xxxx, Alessandra

So, next morning we left Berg-en-Dal Camp Site to go back home in Maputo and it was a short ride to reach the main gate of the park, but we had the opportunity to watch some buffalos … … and find out a pack of Wild Dogs, resting under a tree … Do you see the tip of a tail? … and two last photos taken by Tobia : a crocodile and some hippos … …. soon, we'll be back there !!!! YES!!! xxxx, Alessandra

When we woke up the next morning, we found a family of warthogs near our breakfast area … …. they were so funny and discreet !!! After our breakfast, we packed our luggages and off we went to the Kruger again!!!!! Some impalas received us and a big Blue Wildebeest …  Our first giraffes of the day … A beautiful zebra…. A crouched wildebeest … zebras …. …. a perfect blue sky with white clouds …. …. another warthogs family …. some zebras and impalas crossing the road… and a young zebra carrying 3 Red-Billed Oxpeckers … giraffe and impalas … another young zebra … … and an elephant …. two young impalas males "fighting" … a couple of rhinos … a wet elephant … giraffes … zebras …. Later, we entered the  Berg-en-Dal Rest Camp  … Obviously we followed the path in the light afte...
