On day one, we did a drive to check out the lay of the land. An hour before one of the guys ran over this Black Momba at the property entrance. I'm certainly glad I did not run into one of these while out in the bush. I took this picture from the back of the truck as we drove over it.
Here is a little more about the Black Momba.

I got to spend just over two weeks in Sandton / Johannesburg a few years ago and managed to sneak away for a Saturday day trip to Pillanesberg. Kruger was just far enough away to not fit into y itinerary or budget. I had a wonderful time taking pictures and seeing all of these animals amongst each other in the wild.
I'm very impressed with your trip! Well done!!! Thanks for sharing!
As an aside, I considered the Atlanta - Johannesburg direct flight, but being in DFW I wanted to keep all of my miles on American. I instead opted for a British Airways connection through Heathrow and purposefully selected an 8 hour layover to do a quick (very quick) tour of London.
