Thank you for following, Pumbaa :-0


God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Mel :o0ps: :o0ps:

I have only just managed to get through this wonderful TT. What awesome sightings you had - a kill by each of the big cats. ^Q^ ^Q^
Plenty of leopard sightings and sadly the last few days of Barlong. She didn't look that well. :-(

The fox cubs are so cute :-)

And all the different cheetah mums with their cubs. It amazed me the number of cubs that there were and a lot of them seem to survive. ^Q^
Clever mums.

Even all the smaller things, squirrels, meercats etc \O

Thanks for sharing your great experiences ^Q^ ^Q^

Thank you, pooky! O0

Hanri certainly is an amazing mum, seeing that she's now (still) catering for two of the sister's offspring as well. O:V

Nature can be "funny" with what she gives or takes... Barolong had two young cubs that most likely didn't make it either
after their mother had died...

One good thing about not keeping up with a travel tale is that you get to see it all in one massive sitting which is a veritable feast for the eyes. O/\

Finally caught up here Mel and enjoyed every moment, but the raptors and cheetahs were the highlights for me. The hunt of the springbok was fabulous, but the black-chested snake-eagle in flight shots were the undoubted WOW! pics in my mind. \O ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^

Thanks for sharing this trip with us here. X#X

Is that supposed to be a kind of excuse :twisted: ^0^

Might be, Lis, but I have experienced it myself several times and I'm with Dewi on this one. No cliffhangers and suspension... you always know how the story evolves O**

Thanks for catching up, Dewi and you nice comments X#X
