I've just realised that I never posted our cheetah sightings from December 2015.
So here they are:

2015-12-26 Star and 3 female cheetahs (cubs?)
We cam across four cheetahs lying under a tree to the right of the short road leading up to the view point just south of the Kamqua Picnic spot (26°01'56.0"S 20°24'42.3"E) at 14:45.
With the aid of nan's photos and a few others I have matched these to Star et al.

2015-12-26 Margie
After leaving Star et al, we drove north and between Urikaruus and 13BH we came across Margie lying under a tree at 15:23. She wasn't looking to be in the best condition.

2015-12-28 Top Cat Gang (Benny, Choo and Fancy)
On the morning of the 28th December before we were about to leave the park we did one final drive north from Twee Rivieren. We came across the Top Cat Gang tucking into a hartebeest kill just north of Leeuwdril at 06:30. From the look of what had been eaten they must have very recently made. They were unaware however that a large male and female lion was heading their way. Sure enough they suddenly noticed the danger and made a quick get away.
