Explain again how the 'lodge" works, Peter? :o0ps:

The lodge gives you brunch around 10H00 and the Supper after the evening game drive around 19H00 with tee between meals . early Coffee and rusks before the morning game drive.

Lovely cheetah sighting...pity about missing the kill. 0*\
Thanks Flutterby, Not so upset in missing the kill, I was after the hunt and to get a Cheetah in full sprint, that's what ticked me off the most

The meerkats are always a good subject, but the Cape Foxes beat them this time around ^Q^ ^Q^

I'm flabbergasted... firstly because I missed the initial talk about you staying at the lodge and secondly that you did at all.
How come? You are the last people I had thought wanting to overnight there, being avid campers and all. -O-

Must look at those to male cheetahs for ID. But I have two sets in mind, so should be easy'ish to find out who they are (hopefully lol )

Great sightings all around, methinks! Jackal pups - only ever saw them once as well. And at first we had thought of foxies because they
look so similar. And yours are very cute obviously.

Beautiful close-ups of the meerkats ^Q^

Again - brilliant photography \O

Me Mel Mel I am totally taken aback by your comment O** O** O** O** =O: =O: =O: =O: =O: =O: , No really we booked at the last minute and had to scramble between bush camps ,camping . We ended up with 2 days we did not know where to book before we went to Kielie Krankie, We did not want to book at Twee Rivieren and it was too late to try Rooiputs Botswana side so we took the next best option the lodge, We where lucky as it was in between two tour groups :-0
