By the time the ellies left, the rhino were really enjoying the mud. :yes:

The jackal was still in the same place. ;-)

Image

We decided to leave them to it and go in search of some cats. I told Bea our best chance was to stick close to Mankwe Dam so we decided to do the Thlware Link where there is a resident leopard. We didn't find any spots, but we did find these cats enjoying a day at the beach. :-0 Bea was very happy! O:V

Image

We saw lions in the same spot in September 2013 at the AW meet, and I'm sure it's the same pride. :yes: There were 2 males and 5 females.

Some clouds blocking the sun.

Bookends! O:V

The sun appears again.

lol lol The rhinos rolling in the mud are hilarious. Look more like warthogs. O:V Have only been to Pilanesberg twice and enjoyed it immensely, so it's fun revisiting an old "friend". :ty:
