Weren't you fed up with lions by now?

There are some great portraits and they all look very young

[Richprins]

What a lion extravaganza, Gavin!

Some nice close pics indeed!

Love the male surrounded by all the jackals in KTP!

2023 was indeed the Year of the Lions in KTP Wonderful sightings, still enjoying this TT. You must post once a week for the rest of the year please , so I can continue my KTP fix.

Hi everyone

Just to let you know that I haven't discarded all of you by not posting.
I've been away in Zambia and have month end, and then Vic Falls next weekend, all for work (Road race measuring)
So please bear with me until early October
Thanks

Gavin

[Lisbeth]

You'll have more to write about when you are back

[Richprins]

looking forward to a Zambia report!

[GavinW]

Thanks everyone so much for your patience


Ok, so to EVENTUALLY continue

After a quiet trip over the dune road, we were lucky enough to spot these suricates just before the Auchterlonie picnic site

And whilst having a snack, a first for us

A Kalahari Chicken begging at the picnic site

We went back to Rooiputs via Twee Rivieren, where I had no luck with internet payments, but so what. I was on holiday
On the way back, we saw a male lion parked off under a faraway tree

[GavinW]

As well as a few others

As well as some eland just before Rooiputs

We returned to camp, showered and sorted out our lives

[GavinW]

On our evening drive up to Kij Kij we were presented with

These gemsbok, in stunning light

As well as the Kij Kij lions still on their kill





That evening my notes say that we had a lekker braai.
Who am I to disagree
