The hamster wheel is taking strain... some serious pace here

Great sightings of the leopard and lions
Lion poo is nasty if the wind is blowing the wrong way

Great leopard sighting....lucky those people called you back! That ellie already looks like a decent tusker! Nice lion sighting too...was a good day!

Clearly not a happy lions if all the Browns were watching him doing his business...

I would probably have pulled the same face if dumping in front of a car full of people

The leopard looks as though it has eaten recently/

What a sighting!

The tail-tip may be a hairball coughed up too...but dunno?

Love the constipated lion!

Sharp RP The leopard supposedly killed a small wartie in the area the previous morning

Thanks PJL

I can't focus at work with a TT hanging around, so have to bash it out before the next big project starts or I will never finish it

Lion dump stinks big time

Ja, very lucky Flutts They clearly were having an argument whether to tell us or not

9th Satara to Skukuza

We had to move back to Skukuza today so the normal car packing mission had to take place, however we were still out the gate at 6:15am and had no key to drop in the box which was a first.

Just outside Satara, at the first little bridge, we immediately hit a road block and I got a glimpse of a lion’s head before it disappeared in the grass, but we could still hear them roaring and the odd ellie was also shrieking which I found strange. Supposedly a few male lion had been seen and an ellie herd chased them.

I was pelican that we had just missed it and the gang was building, so decided to have a quick check on the H7 and at the very first no entry road behind camp a couple lionesses and cubs walked out. Another car which had been cruising along with us checked them also and went straight down the no entry road.





The cubs were very fat and cute so the clan in the back started with their “baby talk” as all of them crossed one by one in front of us before pausing with some of the adults, which allowed for a few more mission pics in the semi dark conditions.







I turned around and we headed down the H1-3 towards Skukuza, but stopped again a few hundred meters in as a BBJ was charging down the road; however it did eventually stop and check us out.





Albert started nagging as we neared the Baobab tree area, so I had to drive in for the usual pic and the S86 produced 2 male lion parking off next to the road, so we spent some time with them, but it’s a narrow little road so if there are more than 3 cars it gets hectic, therefore as an OSV drove in we ducked.





We then did the 3km down the S33 to check if the leopard from the previous day was still around, however it had moved on, but the Cow finally got her mongoose pic and another of a Bateleur in the distance.





To be continued

Those cubs look very well fed and with 5 of them not an easy task

The lion making faces While ...whatever it is called looks hilarious

Great pic of the Fabulous Browns

Does Bushpig have a brace on her teeth? If yes, poor darling On the other hand she will look ever prettier growing up
