Thanks again, all!
Grietjie is getting busy again, unfortunately with people here for the holiday season. I was at the first car at a Lion sighting this morning and after about half an hour with the Lions, only two other cars arrived. I left the sighting and returned about a half hour later and there was only one car, so all in all, not too badly congested.
A few shots from earlier in the week. First up, a 4x4 Tortoise...

I went out on drive quite early this morning and one of the first mammals I got was this pride of Lions. I had them all to myself, but they were super lazy and only started moving when another car stopped at the sighting.
This is what they looked like when I arrived...
