temperatures of only 14 degrees. The skies were beautifully clear and most days were calm.
Certainly a huge difference to our normal KNP visits

On our last full day in KTP we left Mata Mata and slowly made our way along the road from
one waterhole to the next. As we approached 13th Borehole two pale chanting goshawks
were dive bombing some doves at the water. We slowly coasted towards the waterhole
hoping for some nice action shots. Suddenly all the birds flew away and four cheetah
slunk around the pump enclosure towards the waterhole. One dove remained and we realised
it cuouldn't fly. It had been damaged by the goshawks. The dove tried to walk towards the
cars but was seen by the cheetah. the following series of photos tell the story of this unfortunate
dove.














This was the highlight of our trip by far.
