Marvellous cheetahs

Cute steenbok They are always rather nervous

The raptor is a juv. bateleur

for the bird ID

Six cheetahs!

Great sightings especially for summer, Rog! That road can be hit-and-miss!

I like the distant lion...

Some closer ones coming up

Wow, great cheetah sighting!!!

It is the most we have seen together anywhere .Obviously they were cubs but all seemed quite old and well developed so most will survive

Thanks for the tent information

Wow what an amazing cheetah sighting

So not far away we found a



And we continued our quest for the perfect pic of a Roller


This ellie was cooling off with a mudbath


This Kudu doe had allot of growths that looked painful


Coming back onto the tar road we found the tail .We waited and watched the tail .This tail will feature few times in the TR will we ever discover the owner of the tail


We left the tail and found two Male lions close to the road in the shade - it was quite hot by this time .We were first there and it quickly became a traffic jam so we moved off to go to camp and book a night drive and for some reason we only have pics of the one Male possibly the other one was lying in the shade


We went to Orpen and booked the drive .

[Alf]

We want more

[RogerFraser]

In July again

Without me

sorry got all family and new rugrats girlfriend so not much room this trip Alf .Bus is going to be full .

We want more

[RogerFraser]

So after booking the night drive we went to the shops to get some water but they were out of stock so we decide to drive through to Satara as we had time before the night drive .

The tail had moved between the time we left and returned



A flock /group of vultures was on the ground in the shade we could not see any reason for them being there they just seemed to be in the shade



After stopping in at Satara and getting water we stopped at Nsemani and watched the ellies playing in the dam



These two were playing push me push you



And eventually the victor had a celebration splash



We skipped the traffic jam still at the two Male lions this time much to the surprise of the rest who were busy in the scrum for best position

Back by Orpen some buffs were getting their fill


We returned to the camp road to do supper and get ready for the night drive .On the way we found a new Zebra

[Klipspringer]

Is this tail a baby genet in the nest?

[Alf]

Nice elephant action

Can’t wait for the night drive

[Lisbeth]

The tail looks like the one of a Lemur, but living only in Madagascar..... Too thin for a genet, but not many alternatives

I love the ellies in the water

The pic of the roller looks great

[Richprins]

Lovely pics again, Rog!

I LOVE the tail! What a treat!

And the pics of animals at water1
