Having the Time of my Life revisited (October 2016)

[Lisbeth]

I have some good memories from Grootkolk

We had quite a few secretary birds walking, drinking and what not but without the lions

SQUIRREL

[PJL]

Wow, seeing a kill in action must have been very exciting! Nothing like being the first at a sighting like that

[nan]

wow... I think I will stay "at home" during the 5 nights/day I will be there
but Safran has to come

again wow photos and sightings



I want a Squirrel "carpet"

[ExFmem]

You can well imagine how excited I am for you and spots and this incredible TT Simply fabulous sightings again, and again, and.......And so well captured.

Wow Mel, amazing sighting of the lion kill and pics too!!

[Richprins]

Wow wow wow! What a great trip, Melloooo!

I would have just spent the next day relaxing in camp!

Do you have pics of "congestion" in KTP?

[Lisbeth]

Congestion in KTP used to be 5/6 cars. Maybe it is worse by now and during the holidays

and for Lions... but for Cheetahs not

Lis, your own memories from Grootkolk? I can't remember for sure but I seem to think that you didn't stay there Did someone see a kill in that camp?

Pete, you'll probably know well how it feels to be the first and maybe even only one to watch such a spectacle

nan, you lost me. Because staying at home at Urikaruus certainly won't bring you Safran

ExFmem, thanks... and we're still not done yet. And I still can't believe what sort of trip this was. Even tough it wasn't filled with those stunning stuff like honey badgers, caracal, pangolin and sort - the "regulars" gave us a good show

Flutts, thanks for you continued support and the cheering

RP, luckily we did not. Imagine knowing afterwards what you missed out on. I did stay in camp once while the SO had to do some business with our flat tires. He saw the tiniest lion cubs I would have ever seen... And I saw the bats in our unit. No congestion pix, I'm afraid. This lion sighting wasn't too bad (even though I found there were quite a few cars compared to other sightings, but nothing in comparison to sightings like this in Kruger) and at the cheetah kill on the 9th I could see how the cars were shuffling about, but since I was in the middle of it I wasn't able to get a capture of the whole scope of it.

So, yes, Lis and nan, there are congestions even at cheetah sightings... We had about 15 cars at the cheetahs.
