0/* Mel - just got back from a month long stint in the KTP, and am SO looking forward to reading through all your entries, especially what you found in the Grootkolk area where we only spent 2 days. Sounds like a wonderful stay from your title ^Q^ ^Q^ ....

Gotta go - lots of catching up to do 0() 0()

Ja, Flutts, must have been one of the busiest nights ever. But we were so knackered by midday that we almost missed a lioness at noon lol

Ja, we thought we had seen you - or rather hubby one morning. \O

But a whole month, that's somewhat indecent :-0 :-0 :-0 You must tell me how you organized the food and drinks department, please X#X

The day still hadn't been done yet… After an extremely quiet day, we couldn't believe that there was nothing to come to the waterhole anymore. But apart from the barn owls screeching and giving quick appearances, it was eerily inactive at the waterhole. :no: Isaak must have felt it because he cut of the floodlight even 10 minutes earlier than the usual 10 pm curfew (which is way too early for my liking as well). With no moon, there was no point in lingering much longer. The SO had called it a day earlier already - the busy night before having taken its toll. I packed up our chairs, torches and cameras for the night and went back to the "garden" fence for one last sweep with the torch. And I couldn't believe what I caught there :shock:

LEOPARD!!!

I quickly moved into the hut to reanimate the SO and with his torch and the light shone by unit one, we found that there wasn't only on, but TWO of them.
