Brilliant pics, all!

With all that grass, one literally has no clue what is around the next corner! O-/

(Which is exciting!)

Then when some areas burn down, one can see the landscape clearly...and it's entirely different when the new bright green grass shoots start up! \O

Never seen a cat there, other than a small leopard in the road in the rain at the Manungu crossroads 20 years ago! :shock:

Lionesses often put their cubs into koppies! This looks like a group effort! :-?

Then a very unusual spotting in the road a bit further on! :shock: :shock: :shock:

Seems this leguaan had just laid eggs, and spent ages scratching sand around a little cleared area! :-?
