I am sure that hawkeyes felt very offended
A big gang of boons out walking
The road in the pic can get like that in a moment if it is raining hard enough
Thank you for yet another exciting TT, even if a bit short of leopards

I wanted more than 2 cows
The dirt roads at Imfolozi are worse than I have seen them before
Yes, not our best trip sighting wise, but we got 13 live leopard, 1 dead, which is good for us in April, but it just felt like long quiet periods with not much general game around to create interest

Thanks Pumbaa

For leopard, just hang in leopard areas, the rest is luck and timing

It's nice to be able to break your trip home with a stay at iMfolozi.
You may have battled with the long grass but you still had some amazing sightings!

Thanks for sharing your trip, always a pleasure to read.

Agreed, I would need at least 10 cows
The Imfolozi stop allows one to feel the holiday isn't over just yet

You know what I'm overindulging on
We have never had much luck on the S3 and only drove it because a contact informed of a resident leopard on that section
One can't "make a speech" at border posts nowadays, unless you want to spend the day there
The KZN boons are normally better behaved than their KNP relatives

A bit after the fact Bushcraft

but eventually I have made it through another Brown, cat magnet TT
I missed this because we were in Botswana (TT to follow soon) then an unexpected house move which was major after
13 years
Inspite of the long grass you had some awesome sightings. The single leopard cub and the 2 with their mum must rank right
up there

and of course the 3 lions in a row - All the cats looked fat and healthy
Your girls get more beautiful as they get older
Thanks for all the entertainment and hilarity again with good pics even if you don't think so!!
