Not sure about twins but there was a constant stream of arrivals at the waterhole and the big guy was lording it over all of them.
The S28/S137 has been our best road in the park for cheetah. As I mentioned, we've seen this pair before on at least two occasions.
And the swallows - very difficult to get in flight!

Hi Alf, were you following Flutts by any chance?

Sunday 6 December 2015 - Ingwenya Lodge.
Our last day
After the usual delay entering the Park at Croc we headed along the S25.
A Woodie!
A Whitebacked Vulture.
Some Lions in a dry river bed.
We ended up at Lower Sabie.
Hippos at Sunset Dam.
A Monitor kept the birds away at the bird bath.
An Itchy Wartie.
On the way back to Croc, a Yellowbilled Kite.
Was harassing a fish Eagle.
A Martial Eagle.

The last drive of the trip was a solo up the S28 again.
Despite the heat, a Hippo was out and about.
At Nlanganzwani Dam, the work hadn't progressed much since the last time I was there a year ago.
A five legged Elephant with tusker potential.
Near the hide, some Lions.
Near the northern end of the S28 I found a cow with good sized tusks.
I sent the pictures to Aat who had not seen this Elephant before. She has been named Jacana and is now on the Tuskers site.
And the last pictures from this trip, some baby Dwarf Mongooses.

Cute mongoose cubs
On our last visit to Kruger ( staying at Marloth) we also found that the S28 produced very good sightings

, contrary to the S25

Cute mongooses.
The S28 still has to prove itself to us.
