Thanks Harry. Just sad that they won't fix the dam wall because there was always a dam in front of the camp

Re: Alien bush trip December 2018
Yes we have heard about the leopard coming for a drink. Our first visit there in cottage no 9 we heard about the leopard the following day and the time they gave us was the time we were busy unpacking..... so we missed itPeter Betts wrote: ↑Thu Feb 21, 2019 2:47 pmThere was always a leopard that usesd to come and drink in front of unit 7 at Sirheni most afternoons at around 4pm ..Great leopards on the road to S56 from camp too but not like L Sabie cats so they are wild and slink away ..They have been known to walk through the unguarded open gates too ..magic camp but no camping so havent been there since 2012 ChristmasAlf wrote: ↑Thu Feb 21, 2019 8:16 amSeems as if that leopard that was around Masorini moved on. He was still young when we saw him.
This is now the first leopard for us around Sirheni after 5 trips going there.
The roads around the camp have really stunning scenery and then Babalala is about 20minutes drive away so one can stop there for breakfast before the crowds from Punda or Shingwedzi arrives.
Next trip to the bush??

Re: Alien bush trip December 2018
Sometimes you miss a sighting by minutes. Wednesday, I would not have seen the cheetah if I had not stopped for the white storks. All the people who passed me at the storks missed it and I saw it all by myself
It was not a great cheetah sighting, but it was my first in Kruger

Re: Alien bush trip December 2018
Thank you, but what I need is a leopard
I have seen cheetahs in KTP and now also in Kruger. Not that I would mind another few cheetah sightings though
