Africa Wild

jb72, There is a post on Kgalagadi Sightings FB about 3 male lions from Kij-Kij that had a big fights with the Rooiputs pride male. Looks like the large Kij Kij pride don't like competition anymore. :shock: When was this? We saw a male near Rooiputs that looked like he had taken a beating and was w...

The highlight of the trip was one morning when we found the pride of 11 at Kij-Kij. They were quite relaxed, and were scattered all over the area. This was also the first time we saw the mother and cubs with the pride. The next moment another female came strolling over the dunes down to the waterhol...

Hi jb72 0/* 0/* 0/* Wow ..long time no see. But first of all let me tell you that I am so sorry to hear about your camera equipment - that really stinks :evil: :evil: :evil: @#$ @#$ @#$ Thank you for doing your travel tale though.

Spend more time with Dave he puts those guides to shame if you ask him questions.

Would help if I get invited to spend time with Dave....

Hi JB, I can just confirm what you have experienced. It was nasty hot weather and as you say it took long before cooling down. Maybe around 2 - 3 am. 0- We were there from 28 Nov to 14 Dec and it would have been a pity if you were there at the same time not saying 0/* . That caracal sighting makes ...

Hello, jb! Long time no smell! X#X Good sightings and info...bad luck about the theft! O/ Doesn't it cool down later at night, it being a desert and all? -O- Hey RP 0/* \O Don't even talk to me about the theft. Had some awesome photos, and now they are just memories. Once the sun goes down its stil...

Sounds like you had a ball, jb! O:V I found that more people are actually only interested in lions (and leopards...) and won't sit with cheetah for a long period of time. 0' Plus there are those who "collect" their cat sightings. O** Very true! But I don't think KTP will ever be as bad as...

As with most parks, speeding is still a big problem in KTP. I think I have learnt to deal with it. Especially with so much action at the waterholes, people were just racing from one to the next. Just love it though when some idiot comes racing past, and 2km further I spot a cheetah they had obviousl...

Back to the heat....: It was amazing that the later it got in the afternoon, the hotter it got. I HAD some photos showing 46deg at 18:30 in the afternoon. Therefore the afternoon sightings were mostly of sleeping lions, but had some luck with cheetahs at least. There was way more action on the Nosso...

I'm not big on writing travel tales (prefer reading them), but just to share a few thoughts on our visit to Kgalagadi in December. Firstly I wont be sharing any photos as our cameras and equipment were stolen in Windhoek, and numbnuts here had not bothered with any back-ups. You will therefore have ...
