Lions for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner (October 2019)

Sjoe, a fantastic cheetah sighting

Wow, your drive fromTwR to Grootkolk was fantastic! Cats of every sort (almost), and naturally I like the caracal and AWCs best due to their being not as common. Mating lions are always interesting, and the elephant shrews are very special. I always walk the Nossob camp trails, as we have found them there in the past, but none the past couple of trips.

Agreed, the Dune Road was horrific - the potholes could do some significant damage as well

Hanri is a beautiful lady and your pics did her justice - wonderful sighting.

more please....

WoW Mel,
what stunning shots from Hanri
and all to yourself and even so close - Such a sighting would have my trip as well

And that was only the first out of four times

Thanks, Pumbaa

[Mel]

Very green about your cheetah sighting
But I suppose that's why we are going back in May

Oh, but I do remember trips of yours where you had it all - even in one day
The sightings are always different in the Kgalagadi, but always amazing, methinks

[Mel]

Wow what a great time with Hanri and at the right time .

Absolutely Still very happy about it and now hoping to see her again with cubs next time around.
She was seen with some males a couple of weeks later

[Mel]

Wow that cheetah is stunning

Alf!

[Mel]

Superb sighting, Mello, and as you say, all alone!
I wonder if the cheetahs recognise YOU by now?
And good light as you say.
The cats seem to like sleeping in those trees...

Thanks, RP

You know, I've been asking myself the same question... does she remember our smell

[Mel]

Fantastic sighting of Hanri and stunning pics!! It looks like she was posing for you!

I'd like to think that she did put up a little show for us. After all, we were the only car that stayed with her for hours one end

[Mel]

Hanri is still a beautiful girl, she has a superior air about her Gorgeous photos

Ja, she looks quite confident and after what I've seen of her on our way out, I think I know how she managed
to get to that age in the Kgalagadi

Sjoe, a fantastic cheetah sighting

Can't argue with that

Thanks, BC
