Probably the best road in Kruger for Amur Falcons and Lesser Kestrels. These birds are here during our summer.

A dry and dusty S128 in October 2010.

We found these four cheetah on the S128 in October 2010. It was boiling hot and they were huddled under the only shady tree in the area.

We left them after about an hour and went back to Lower Sabie to fetch my uncle and his SO who were out from the UK on there first visit to Kruger. Thank goodness the cheetah were still there when we got back!

Then they got up and moved towards us!

It was just us and one other car!

vinkie, SuperM, Flutts, nan $\O$

Great shighting of the cheetah Flutts $O\/$ and what a great surprise it must have been for your family form the UK and to top it all it was their first visit to KNP

Most of us have mistaken rocks, shady spots under trees or a dead tree trunk for some sort of animal

mostly a predator $0*\$

Great was my surprise when a certain dead tree trunk suddenly came to life

and casually strolled across the road right in front of my eyes

Note the zebras in the background at Moonshine dam

piggies munching away at the greenery

A much drier Moonshine dam in June 2013 than during March 2012

But still a feast for the eye $O/\$
