One of my fav waterholes too. Some might remember the sightings we had there from my last KTP trip report, but just to refresh let me repeat a few again:
Lioness drinking late morning (Dec 2013):
My most memorable moment was that of a eland calf that drank and walked right into the direction of a lion on the dune. Poor thing did not know where to go. That happened in 2007 so I will browse through some old pics and see if I can find it.

I found my old pics of the eland at Kij-Kij (July 2007). It was also one of those years that the eland migrated to KTP from Botswana only to die after drinking too much or too salty water.
I am watching you.
Not sure if this was the same eland as above, but sadly the next day we found marks on the road of a huge struggle and the remains on which BBL were feasting a few 100 meters from Kij-Kij.
