Until the 01 April 2010 we had 4 serval sightings. Three of them were on the H10 and the other one on the S32 (Orpen Dam Road) and only one blurred photo. So on the 01 April 2010 we were driving on the S122 and close to the intersection with the H10 we saw this guy walking on the road :shock:

Image

and soon he (or she -O- ) was on the H10.

Image

Image

The serval crossed the road and we thought end of sighting, but he posed for us

Image

and even cleaned herself :-)

As soon as the next car arrived the serval bolted off. A memorable sighting for us O/\ O/\ O/\

On the 24 April 2011 we found this beauty in a tree on the H10, just past the S122 turn.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

and a gymnogene made an appearance

Image

and landed in a tree next to the one in which the leopard was

The beauty then came down the tree and disappeared into the long grass. Both Sharifa and I were clicking away :-0
