Hang around for the grand finale buddy. It will be worth it. (You remember Pilanesberg Jan 2012?)

The beeg theeng is yet to come.

Glad to hear it is yet to end waiting with baited breath

[Flutterby]

A black Rhino

We had already seen one a few days earlier Bokkie. Hate to sound blase, but it wouldn't have been such a beeg thing anymore

A LIT

Once again sounds blase but we had seen a few of those. We were blessed enough to have had no less than 5 spotted cat sightings of which two were LIT

Cheetah kill

Now this would have been beeeger than a beeg corn bite. It would have been absatively posolutely mind blowing. Alas, this was not the case.

A woodie

'fraid not.

Wild dogs

Something I really wanted to see. I have been blessed enough to have seen them twice in paradise already. (On previous trips.)

..... other than that

It will be revealed soon. Very soon.

Finally another stationary animal pic I can see! The swan with the hairdo!

I mark according to content, language and structure...with originality being a major element! So far you are doing brilliantly regarding the last three!

Your closing paragraph may be the clincher!


BTW, short-term memory goes first...so don't worry!

Ok, so back to the main event (after having detoured various threads around the forum).

We were informed that a cat had been seen and had moved behind a large termite hill. The peeps had subsequently lost sight of it and were patiently waiting for it to show itself. Hunny scanned the area with the binocs and I used the old peepers. I edged the car forward slower than I think it has ever gone before. Approximately 5 minutes later, I spotted the cat walking in the bushes.

Hunny had to operate the camera (which didn't fill me with any great degree of confidence that I would ever see the cat in digital format. Long story which will be explained when I get back to my June travel tail.) I followed him with my eyes and went forward faster since kitty had managed to open up a bit of a gap on where everyone was looking and were parked. I was the only one on the move. I think someone saw me pointing out kitty to Hunny and they got moving too.

We got some shots of a very far of kitty cat but I had finally, after almost 30 years of on and off KNP visits, captured this one on film. It was only my second ever sighting of one.

After years of searching, I had finally found my second CHEETAH.

It sure was and Hunny was the most exited I had ever seen her.

Here is the evidence. I have to appologise for the quality.
