:yes:

Ok...we left in the clouds again early next morning...destination Teba! O/\

Some scallywags at the den near camp!






Image





We saw a lot of 'striches on this trip...nice! \O





Image




Some buffs at Boyela!





Image





With queleas...always also a good sighting...leachy has betterrer pics.... :o0ps:






Image






While we were sitting here, Goldenhamster could see 3 cars stationary a bit further up the road...and it drove him mad waiting... O** Eventually he just sped away...it turned out to be a good idea! ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^


(Ps: this is the closest one gets to a roadblock in the far North...3 cars, so one must take it seriously! lol )






Image





Spot the animal...jolly good cammo on cheetahs, IMO! :shock:






Image






I have this endearing but utterly pointless habit of trying to postpone the tea-drinking as long as possible, but this sighting was worth celebrating indeed! X#X
Soon RP was playing the fool with his camera again... 0*\











Image






This place is always very nice...I forget the name..there was a dead little elephant at the water, with vultures and what not!






Image






And yet more tsessebe a little further, Vlakteplaas area...






Image




The turnoff to Punda, as Christa said we must book in for Teba there...quite a detour, and depressing as that area is terribly dry... :-(







Image






Spot the aminal again! ^0^ (More rare antelope, which is nice in the North)





Image





Spot the aminal part III! =O: And funny ellie fence on the floor..or what? -O-






Image





Nothing at the water, miraculously! O-/





Image




The gymnastics rings I saw! =O:





Image




And thieves! :X: @#$






Image





We had to move it to get to Kloppies, taking the ghastly dirt road.... 0: Upon hitting the tar I had lost my bearings a bit....and realised when we stopped to watch these lions at Kremetart that we had passed Kloppies... O-/ (Roadblock of 1 car!)





Image





So back to Kloppies at speed! :o0ps: No eland, and very little water... O/








Image






We got there just in time, as leachy had missed us so badly he was about to end it all with his little knife! :shock: :shock: :shock:

I don't have much of a zoom, nana, but the pics are big so you can crop them! ;-)

Spotties, ostriches, cows O:V

I would have been way worse than Goldenhamster as it’s a brilliant cheetah sighting ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^

Is that a “sharp’s” under the tree :-0

I have many bush spots to relax, we go to KNP to find/see animals, hence if the north produces it would be my preference, but I believe it's quieter traffic wise because it produces less -O-
