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 O/\ digging away

Image

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

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

No waterhole without the ubiquitous lion sighting. :-0
Same day as the BEFs - just a few metres up the road from them. :shock:

And they obviously had had a good meal - what a belly. 0'

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