Very interesting, Pedro, and thanks very much for the food pic! ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^

Ja, that area is sheep country all right...should have been brilliant! :-0 :-0 :-0

Shame that lion not getting lucky...he looks so forlorn...but the women tease a bit, IMO. Maybe they were not properly on heat yet? But he would not have given up! :twisted:

Nice that you had some tea at TR! X#X

The 23rd August in the afternoon we had to take the plane at Upington to start our long way back home, but we still had time for a final drive at the park until around 10:30, it was the coldest morning of all, -2ยบ at 7:00, and there was a bit of a mist in the road and at the Nossob river bed.

Probably because of the cold there were no animals anywhere until we saw a couple of cars, there was something at the left hand side of the road and it turned out to be two cheetahs, two male brothers I assume.

The first one passed by

While the second decided to mark the territory, first scratching the tree with his claws (pity he did it in the wrong side of the tree)

and then scent marking it with his urine

Then they climbed the dune, watched around

And eventually passed to the other side of the dune

Not a lot of action but a great sighting for a late start of our last morning at KTP

Cheetah as a farewell sighting :-0 :-0 :-0

Was it on the Nossob or the Aoub side?
