Great choice, nan!

No pictures, but bush news about lions being camped out in the shade at the swimming pool last week, because it was so hot they wanted to stay close to the refreshments. It's become a real lion infested camp.

I can personally attest to that, as we were "held hostage" this year for 1 and 1/2 hours by the lions right beside the outdoor kitchen sitting area (honeymoon tent) and just off the car park fenced enclosure. We're always out by 6A, but they didn't move away until 7:30A so we couldn't open the gate. Was rather exciting, however.

Will post pics when I get time.

Mel, I LOVE the bugs!!! Send yours over to my tent next time

righ, I like KTP from the first day, and of course the first one
I was in the bedroom... but can't remember why, certainly with a good reason
Yes please ExFmem post some of this adventure

Toko... there is always something to see at the waterhole, even a car to put down the camera trap a guy (client) went to hang in the tree

Great sighting nan.

When I see sightings like that, I understand why you love KTP

Luckily, the lions hadn't camped out that day!

Cheetahs and lions were seen within 200 metres of each other on the 24th or 25th October (can't remember the exact day at the moment).
The cheetahs were obviously in dire need of food but when they spotted the lioness in the shade, they retreated. This wasn't exactly in the
camp but in the riverbed / dunes when you come down from KTC.

Cheetah life is not easy
