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


Next trip to the bush??

Mrs Alf wants a leopard and she finds it in the middle of the day 0*\ Well done Mrs Alf O0

You must be right about Sirheni, Alf! Those cushions have convinced me lol ^Q^ ^Q^ and it does have a great location \O
Seems 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.
There 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 Christmas
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 it


Next trip to the bush??

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 ^0^ lol It was not a great cheetah sighting, but it was my first in Kruger :yes:

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 O**
