Balule Nature Reserve is open to the Kruger National Park, meaning that animals are free to wander where they chose. As we’re now in the middle of the summer months when the lowveld receives its rainfall, small pools, streams and spruits have filled up allowing animals to cover larger distances, being less tied down to permanent water sources. 
Today was a day for elephants. Having enjoyed watching a bull elephant making use of our waterhole during the day, we were delighted when a breeding herd decided to stop by in the evening. By the time they’d reached our house dusk had turned to dark and all that alerted us to their presence was the odd crunch and crash coming from the thick bush! It’s great to have them around again.
