Re: Browns in Kruger October 2017

Wow!! Multiple Lion sightings, super-close Leopard, and then a Cheetah on a kill right near LS?? This is unbelievable. ^Q^ O/\ We drove the H4-1 many times in August and only managed some distant Lions. You sure had a great morning on this road with kitty-cat sightings! \O :-0 ...but will you be abl...

Re: In Search of Some Good "Spots"

Saturday 26th August - Delaporte Day! continued... At this point in time I have to tell a story. Its a story told only in words. And its a story of unfathomable stupidity. So, if you are totally over the crazy antics of tourists in southern Kruger then I suggest you log out and come back to this TT...

But Delaporte Day was otherwise really productive in terms of sightings :shock: Nice combo with the rhinos and the lions, too :-0
Yes it was a fantastic day! And for the 'Big Five' chasers it was our first and only Big Five Day of the trip. X#X

Re: Browns in Kruger October 2017

My last comment was also lost BC, but your standard of photography continues to be high! \O Cheetah cameos are a real bonus. :-0 The drought is over! O\/ O\/ Well done focusing on the Leopard in the bush. That can be a tough situation for autofocus. I assume it was a male? Great Lion sightings in th...

Re: JUNE IS BUSTING OUT ALL OVER

Hey STF! 0/* When you are at Satara you should check out the Hyena den 3km north of camp on the H1-4. They use the drain pipe under the road. The best thing about it is its proximity to Satara. You can stay there until 5 mins before gate closing then cruise back to camp. The cubs and babysitters wer...

Re: In Search of Some Good "Spots"

Hi all. 0/* Thanks for chiming in. Regarding the Lions with mange, as Bushcraft said they were/are part of the Lubyelubye pride. We are pretty sure they went to meet the pride on our last day in Kruger, and certainly a week later I saw pictures online of the cubs amongst the pride. The cubs appear t...

Re: Browns in Kruger October 2017

This is terrible BC. How are you supposed to find Leopards when you are constantly having to stop for pesky Lions?? =O: --00--

Great pics of the Lioness on the road, and that last shot of the male Lion is a real stunner. ^Q^

Klipspringer is always a special sighting in my opinion. :yes: \O

Re: In Search of Some Good "Spots"

Saturday 26th August - Delaporte Day! continued... We gathered in the carpark at Lower Sabie for our first ever Sunset Drive. And what a lovely experience it was! We got that rare combination you always dream about on guided drives: good weather, good wildlife, and good company! ^Q^ We were pleasan...

Re: Browns in Kruger October 2017

Wow! Now the Leopards are coming to you. O**

I think the baboon might have eaten some fermented fruit by mistake. =O: =O:

We also encountered some of those speedsters on the H4-1 and wondered how much carnage they are responsible for??
