How about a pic of the 100 cars?


What is a lollypop?


Need some evidence as to why you were late...

Oops, got left behind a bit. Nice to see the civet again, but as others have said it seems that people are feeding it!

Another leopard sighting....how boring!

So, the Mazithi gang is still going strong!

Lions on a kill is not bad, but when sleeping lions attract 20 cars, all I want to do is to pass

Agreed Lisbeth We also move on after a few pics if the lion are just relaxing, which is most of the time

Another boon with bad manners

Yip, it was hectic Alf, but fortunately the H1-3 has space, however if this was on a smaller road

ExFmem wrote:Wow, so many impressive sightings! Love the leopards, of course, but the hyena mom w/ the pesky 'lil one is wonderful. Yay, civet - but wish it was scavenging on its own. Also, loved the ellie parade w/ the dust pic. You're the only person I ever heard use the term "having a pelican", but it's so apropos and quite a funny visual.

Thanks for popping in again ExFmem I come from an ex KZN surfing/beach culture and we have a different language

I didn't take pics of the chaos as it ruins my KNP feeling when looking back at the pics

Can you picture a sucker - a dirt road with a turning circle at the end, however the word clashes with a smilie code, hence the smilie - Roger to the rescue

Ja Flutts, that civet was suspect

The big leopard days are still coming

12th Skukuza continued

We scored a luck due to the delivery vehicle chaos and ended up in a prime viewing spot after all the cars switched off again.

We were amazed at the power of a male lion as he easily moved the buffalo around.





A lioness then pulled in and started some “suction moves” to score a chow and the male fell for it; however he didn’t seem impressed with us taking pics and glared intently at us for at least a minute.





The lioness then realised that she couldn’t get through the buffalo skin with ease, so pulled a few more moves which resulted in the male moving off and she took his spot.





The Garmin was now stating that we were going to arrive late at the scheduled meeting time and as I hate being late stress started to develop.

“How do we get out of here?”

I started up which is normally a hint, but nobody moved, so I switched off again, but time was ticking and we were now going to be 20 minutes late, so my stress levels only increased because I knew RP would have a chirp about it.

A newly arrived OSV driver then started pushing his way into the mix and I spotted an angle so pulled in behind him as he pushed his way through, however he stopped in the middle of the gang for his guests to take pics, but eventually my hand waving got him to move and we were out of the gang and down the S33.

We didn’t stop for anything on the S33 as we were late, so I stuck to 40km/h and watched the road.

We pulled into Nhlanguleni at 12:22pm and expected RP to have a pelican because we were late; however he was cool about it.

The Cow hired a skottel and RP put GB to work with the cooking duties, then decided GB could multi-task, scooped my tools and set him to work on the failing cooler box, so I decided to fiddle with the electric window at the same time, but neither of us was successful.

The “tea” then made an appearance so any form of work was out the window and RP revealed his plot for another Cow bum grab, so even the local hornbills realised that a few AW members had a meet on the go.







After a very good chow the junior rats cruised to take some pics of the ellies at the waterhole, while Hawkeyes fiddled with the panorama function on her cell phone.





Albert thinks differently to most and was after a particular pic with her little point and shoot camera and I was impressed with her patience as she sat for 15 minutes to get the timing correct.

“Dad, I got a piggy in the middle picture” “It’s a once in a lifetime shot!” and then roared off to show the Cow.



To be continued

An intense stare from a male lion can chill the bones!

I like RP's new hat....works very well to hide his face!

Great pic by Albert!

Lovely piggy shot in the middle

Does RP know how to read the time
