That chaos at lion sightings has actually totally put me off the South.
It's just not pleasant and not actually worth seeing the lions

Thanks Flutterby,

a lot of traffic on that bridge ;-) For sure lions are always great to spot and finally also the cubs - They are extreme cute \O

Also love the hyenas and the impies ^Q^

Ja, the chaos can be off-putting but we still love the area. :-0

The next morning we left Lower Sabie for Satara. We headed towards Skukuza and then went up the H1-2. We decided to take the Maroela Loop and found a LIT with its kill. :-0 However, it was far away so couldn't get great pics.

Just after Tshokwane, we came across a very old or sick leopard. :-( The colouring looks like a cheetah but it was definitely a leopard as we had got a clearer view of it before it lay down flat.

A Little Bee-eater.

Closer to Satara, we found this ellie with some relatively nice-sized tusks.

Great start to the day, Flutts! \O

1.5 leopards! O-/

That Maroela Loop can also be hit and miss.

Green pigeons are one of my favourites!

And a tusker! :-0
