We watched them as they did their thing around the waterhole, the juniors playing around, before eventually they moved off over the dune to the south

You were lucky enough to see Corinne once more [Luv] before she died at Christmas last year...

Leaving the chalet, Debbie couldn’t resist taking a photo of this mossie in a bush next to our chalet

We decided to head to the Auob River in search of leopards, as there are a few resident leos in the area.

They weren’t at Auchterelonie because we found another 4 lions in the area

These two love birds on the road,

There were two others in the riverbed near the waterhole, who seemed quite content just to lie there.

After a while the two on the road decided that it was time to move over the dunes
