A funny story:

As a student I used to stay at Orpen for many days at a time with a friend.

One day I went on the S-100, and there's a big tree on one of the last loops that gives great shade!

I was alone, and it was hot, and I thought I'd have a little nap, assuming that some passing car would wake me at regular intervals!

Didn't happen...so arose freshly with the sun descending many hours later! :shock:

Just made it back to camp....but what a snooze! -O

On the last easterly loop Toko =O: =O: =O: It's actually a turning circle and the only tree with shade is on the right ;-)

You have had some great sightings here BC. We have seen mainly lions and a African Wild Cat on a night drive

Photo of the large pride - all of them that I could fit in the frame

Shortly after seeing the lions we saw a leopard
