On the ride back: others saw a genet, I did not. 30 impala another 30 impala 6 wildebeest 6-8 scrub hare, roadside There was some smell of fire in the air, and we drove up to a radio tower to overlook possible fires in Mozambique, only a few km. to the east. It became rather windy. Steak cookout (braai) for supper, but it was rather windy, and we ate in the semi-shelter. July 19, Wednesday. We packed up for the drive back to Skukuza, a big breakfast.

Changed clothes and repacked as best I could. There was an impala left hanging in a tree by a leopard about half a kilometer inside the Kruger Gate. Others had seen the leopard eating it earlier in the day, and some were waiting for it to reappear. We saw only the dead impala. Jane and Johan had encountered a big traffic jam here earlier on the way in and did not know what was going on. We drove to Johannesburg, with not a great deal of time to spare. Flew to Durban.
