Africa Wild

There is nothing wrong with taking 4 months on a trip report?


I was prepared with flip flops hidden under my car seat this trip, but still forgot to put them on and got sent back to the car by the Cow before the faulty aunty in charge got excited.

Damned straight!


I decided to have a few beers while there as some world cup rugby was on and it was another 37 degree day, so I seriously lacked enthusiasm to drive back, but eventually we hit the road around midday.

That Golf Club has been the graveyard of many planned drives...one can just sit and sit and sit!


Marvelous leopard luck again, Bushy!

And honey badger. I must speak to the Dimwits about their spotting skills, or otherwise go to the Park with a group of young ladies!

Hidden leopards but made up for by a honeybadger

Nice pic of the lion in the river

Flip flops

How is the food at the golf club, when and if you get it?

I appreciate the digging badger and the Nyala photo

But still the athmosphere on this travel tale is somewhat hectic

Catching up again after the last few posts .Lovely sighting with the Lions and the Male Lion in the water is pity about missing the chase . Like all the others have said your crew really does seem to have the luck with spotting the Leopards .Nice sighting of the Honey badger .

WoW Bushcraft,

I now caught up and must say I am still seeing spots and even more spots - Indeed Incredible number of leopards you saw - Love the one drinking

Not to forget the lions and once again wild dogs plus nyalas

We still want to visit the restaurant at the Golf club sounds like a must do

Leopards every day?! We're lucky if we see one in a trip!!

Handsome lion in the riverbed!

I already lost leopard count... after only three days or so. Granted, they weren't all brilliant sightings,
but nice for the head count

We were in a similar "hunting" position last year, just with cheetah and springbok. Smack in the middle of
it, but unfortunately with our backs on the real happenings. Was "only" able to watch the hunt and kill, but
never to take any photos. Afterwards I figured that I had found it quite nice to not point the camera and
rather enjoy what was happening in real, not through the lens

Oh, and I see there was a honey badger thrown into the "special sighting mix" as well

There's plenty wrong with a 4 month trip report in my book as I time a TT in between large projects and once the next project starts I can't focus on TT's. I would post the entire TT in 1 hit if I could

Ja, those darn flip flops are required to avoid getting kicked out

My clan take the spotting seriously as we only get 9 days a year now due to the cost and want to spot as much as we can in that timeframe. I think the Dimwit clan are more relaxed about the spotting I will lend you the Rats as their young eyes are sharp

Yes, things can get rather hectic in our car, but I report as it happened
