Oryx – 24.3.2013

April 2011 - more oryx at Cheleka.

Something other than the oryx (which I like too)

03 August 2013.
We were driving north from Dikbaardskolk and saw a car parked off just before the Cheleka turn. They had seen a young leiopard but it had moved deeper in. We went to the waterhole hopeing the leopard would make an appearance - it did not

We picked up some movement halfway up the ridge. It was a honey badger with a youngster digging away



A jackal and PCG were around too waiting for a free meal

Burchell's Sandgrouse/Ganga de Burchell 24.3.013

Our bestest sighting (not directly the waterhole, but close to the entrance), also in April 2011:

No waterhole without the ubiquitous lion sighting.
Same day as the BEFs - just a few metres up the road from them.





And they obviously had had a good meal - what a belly.

Big Daddy overlooking his realm...



Content that everything is in order, he lays down.

And while we were sitting with the lions, a creepy crawly caught my eye:

How cool is this ? A fully grown Acanthoplus
