Great portraits

Our evening drive didn't continue much further before we stopped for sundowners... just a chance to see a herd of red hartebeest with a few gemsbok mixed in

At the sundowner stop

Before a message from another guide had us on our way again... D enjoying the ride up front...

Nice family photo

Parents in law........or parents

They even use silver cups for sundowners

Good stuff, Peej!

The vegetation looks a bit different from Addo, less homogenous?

Gemsbok there???

Was Danger Ronald allowed a dop?

Family looking very good!

To the whole PJL Family again

Lovely pic of you all!

And Sylvester is still as handsome as he is on his own (

) thread... But Fielies is also a really looker

Gina was also Josie's mum, or wasn't she? I'm asking because I wonder if it's sensible to provide the chance of rather close relatives that they might reproduce at some point in the future (even if not likely with Sylvester around).

You'll need to look out for D. He's enjoying the good life way too much

Sylvester sure is a handsome fellow!!

Lovely family pic. $\O$

Agreed nan

Yes very different vegetation as much more inland - more similar to Karoo or MZNP, hence different species such as gemsbok

No dop for Ronald

Correct on the lion lineage Mel $\O$
I'm not sure whether it'll be much of a concern or not. At the moment the lionesses are on contraceptives so for now no need to be too concerned.
D certainly knows how to relax

He sure is - but interestingly although he has a nice mane, he's actually quite a lean lion. Fielies is going to be much much bigger

The message that was relayed from another guide was enticing... BR with a 5/5 visibility $O/\$ $O/\$
When we arrived on the scene it was a 0/5 visibility $0*\$

However after a bit of patience this chap came out from the bushes and was clearly visible for a good while in the fading light $O\/$ $O\/$

For certain reasons this chap is much easier to find than others in the area - let's just say that the guides didn't need to be particularly good spotters.... but even so it is always really great to see a blackie roaming around
