Gorid Steals the show KTP April/May 2021

[Richprins]

Thanks for the aircon info, nana and gavin!

What lovely light indeed!

And a two-headed buck!

[Lisbeth]

Great pic of the twin-headed buck

Returning to Gemsbokplein we spotted Wanda looking into the riverbed.
Wanda equals leopards, and we weren’t wrong.


Meira’s male cub was walking up past the waterhole. We drove up to the lookout and had him walk towards us.

[GavinW]

He eventually carried on out of sight so we went back down to chat to Wanda.

She was watching the female cub eating a cobra in the nearby bushes. She was pretty well hidden, so we only got a glimpse of her before we had to return to Kieli to pack up.
Along the way we had a nice sighting of this secretary bird.

Another leopard

After packing up at Kieliekrankie we moved on to our next stop.
Two nights at Urikaruus.


We were lucky enough to spot some meercats along the way

As well as a barn owl with chicks in a tree near Batulama

(We would be seeing more of them over the next few days)

[GavinW]

We arrived at Urikaruus at lunch time and settled in

Our afternoon drive down south was pleasant, but we didn’t see too much
This Crimson breasted shrike being the highlight

This changed back in camp where we met up with this Pearl Spotted owlet

[GavinW]

And at about 8pm this cheetah came to drink at the waterhole

[Lisbeth]

I love the owls

Nice cheetah at the water hole

[Richprins]

What a day, Gavin!

Leopards are not so common there?

The red shrike is always breathtaking!
