Nice doggie sighting, but that is the pack that died from distemper. :-(

25th August 2015 - Day 4: Lower Sabie

It being Roxy and Kelly’s last day in Kruger we went looking for more Lions and Leopards on the H4-1 to Nkuhlu. We left at our usual 06h30 time, we seem to have more luck at 06h30 than at 06h00 and also enjoy the extra 30 minutes sleep 

Image

The first sighting out of Lower Sabie was this male lion coming up from a drink.

Image

Image

Image

There was lots of general game including this Nyala again.

Image

Just before Nkuhlu we came across another pride of lions in the river bed.

25th August 2015 - Day 4: Lower Sabie

We had not had any luck with Leopard on the morning drive, and there are always Leopard on the H4-1, so off we went on the afternoon drive to look for the elusive Leopard. And were rewarded almost immediately, a car jam like this always means lion or leopard. O\/

Image

It was Leopard, this time in a tree with a kill. We didn’t stay too long as there was a huge traffic jam and the Leopard was just hugging the kill and not eating.

Image

Image

As we had our Leopard we took the H10 for the afternoon drive, this turned out to be dead. Not an animal in sight, so we went back to check on the Leopard in the tree and he was still there.

Image

Image

Image

Image

It was late, so we had to leave the leopard and head back to camp. Only to be stopped by an Ellie crossing at Lubyelubye.

Image

It was our last night at Keartland, and the girls were having some fun with Snapchat.

Image

Then after the Braai it was time to roast marshmallows.

Image

Image

It had been a good 3 days for Kelly’s first time in Kruger, with many lion sightings, 3 leopards and Wild Dog !!

As usual spoiled with sightings ;-)

Too many cars at the good sightings O/ O/

Do the girls need glasses or is it the new fashion? O**
