Africa Wild

I suppose the important thing is that the cats don't know or care whether they have names!

I do think it helps with research and records!

For example visitors reporting on the tusker thread will be demotivated if they are told it is elephant number 3452.

Quite a fascinating young lady though

She certainly was quite a star during our visit

also love the tiny ostriches, the mole snake, the meerkats and the owl

Thanks Pumbaa, the tiny ostriches were very well hidden in the long grass

I love the big snake, what nice pics of it!

And the leopard thrill, nice to see some action!

Thanks RP

We decided to leave the leopard sighting and do a trip to Monro and back in case her brother had appeared again. No such luck, so a few more shots of her as she started to venture further away from the road





Happy with the end of our trip, we meandered back to camp. Along the way there was a cape fox out in the same spot as our first evening drive



Then a bit beyond Houmoed we found a few more cape fox relaxing next to the road. They didn't like the car much, so it was just a couple of photos before they trotted off for the night





We pulled in one last time at Samevloeiing where the moon was rising but everything else was peaceful



Back at camp we packed up as much as we could ready for an early morning start heading back to PE.
Thanks to everyone who has followed along this TR... I'm sure we'll be back at some stage in the future! In the meantime let me leave you with some of our video highlights (yes I forced myself to remember to take video this time)....

what a magnificent end for your TT
for all these great sightings and marvellous memories

That is a very nice video! Could be a promotion short film for the park

Thanks for sharing your trip with us. And am happy to hear you liked it enough to bear the long haul from P.E. again to return.

You sure were lucky sightings-wise, especially with the leopards

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your KTP trip with us

Great video

A pretty ending indeed, Peej!

I like the moon shot!

Thanks so much for your report, a treat as always!

Hope there's another soon!

Thanks so much PJL,

what a fantastic trip you had with so many incredible sightings - Simply love the cute cape fox from the last instalment

Until the next time
