either by night or day but love the mousebirds and the gymnogene - Always amazing when these two species do come along

Lions, right 2 weeks with Lions everywhere... I was desperate to see at least one Cheetah
but Mousebirds and Gymnogen are always a nice surprise
thank you Pumbaa

Drinking & sleeping lions

, nice gymnogene and well-spotted owl!

thank you Flutts
if we drive slowly, we can find the Barnie, in contrast we have to search the Gymnogen
and like already said... Lions everywhere during 2 weeks
