There is nothing wrong with taking 4 months on a trip report? -O-


I was prepared with flip flops hidden under my car seat this trip, but still forgot to put them on and got sent back to the car by the Cow before the faulty aunty in charge got excited.


Damned straight! :evil: :evil: :evil:


I decided to have a few beers while there as some world cup rugby was on and it was another 37 degree day, so I seriously lacked enthusiasm to drive back, but eventually we hit the road around midday.


That Golf Club has been the graveyard of many planned drives...one can just sit and sit and sit! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:


Marvelous leopard luck again, Bushy! :shock:

And honey badger. I must speak to the Dimwits about their spotting skills, or otherwise go to the Park with a group of young ladies! ..0..

I already lost leopard count... after only three days or so. Granted, they weren't all brilliant sightings,
but nice for the head count lol

We were in a similar "hunting" position last year, just with cheetah and springbok. Smack in the middle of
it, but unfortunately with our backs on the real happenings. Was "only" able to watch the hunt and kill, but
never to take any photos. Afterwards I figured that I had found it quite nice to not point the camera and
rather enjoy what was happening in real, not through the lens lol

Oh, and I see there was a honey badger thrown into the "special sighting mix" as well :-0


God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

There's plenty wrong with a 4 month trip report in my book as I time a TT in between large projects and once the next project starts I can't focus on TT's. I would post the entire TT in 1 hit if I could =O:

Ja, those darn flip flops are required to avoid getting kicked out 0:

My clan take the spotting seriously as we only get 9 days a year now due to the cost and want to spot as much as we can in that timeframe. I think the Dimwit clan are more relaxed about the spotting 0: I will lend you the Rats as their young eyes are sharp =O:
