Satara:

Now for our best ever sighting:

Cheetah mom and 5 cubs with a kill:^Q^ :

















While we were watching the Cheetahs feasting something interesting happened The Impalas came from the bush and they all looked at the Cheetahs and were very tense as you can see from these pics:





This all happened on the S100 and was about the best sighting for us the whole trip.

Next up a Waterbuck with 2 heads



A monitor:



And this Eagle, we cannot find in our KNP bird book:





Hope you enjoyed our Cheetahs just for info I took 93 photos at that sighting

To be continued

Your Eagle is a Tawny, the pale form.

You are spoiled, Harry!

Very lucky!

The Loerie and other birds theoretically lie like that to gather ants who cleanse them with their formic acid...

Or maybe just drying out and waiting for sun?

Satara:

We decided to take the road to Orpen and then come back on the gravel road paralell to it.
