Naturally it is one of my favourite areas due to its proximity to the Metsi Metsi wilderness area.

It happens now and again...people stop to look at the snake and it goes into the engine compartment to enjoy the heat. :twisted:

From a 2013 aat story:

Your reporter moves quickly to another location , the S37 (Satara area turning right from the H6 a few K’s after Sweni Hide)

Imagine some unbelieve by us. After the sighting with the mother and 5 cubs along the S100 now another 3 cubs. We could just see the mother moving away at a distance, I guess she was going for catching “dinner” for her kids. The kids were hiding a bit but good enough to watch them for some time.

Absolutely beautiful they are… and again a private sighting. S37 is not that busy (smileeee)

The 3 cubs were moving all the time, unsure and looking all directions. It was really great to watch them.

A cheetah mother says “stay here” to 3 kids and they stay …. Is this possible with 3 (human) kids ??

Not the biggest catch for the day

Maybe the next fisherbird will do much better than the SBS ;-)
