From a 2014 Heksie Report:

Heksie wrote: Sat Mar 01, 2014 12:04 pm I just planned on doing the S28 to LS and then come back via the H4-2 then H5->S26->S25.
First sighting this morning was a dagha boy, it was strange seeing him soaking in mud as it was a bit chilly and misty, definitely not the kind of weather for me to be wet.

Image

Some scenic views of the misty sunrise, it was really a beautiful morning

Image

Image

After a while I heard some whoooooping and then found two hyenas in the road, tails up smelling and walking in the road. I was with them, following them slowly for 10 minutes when the first car came up behind me.

Image


After a few minutes they disappeared into the bushes and it was time again to move on. After a few more kilometres I got a BBJ. The car behind me decided that it was time to pass me and I sat with the jackal for a few minutes before he too decided that it was time to move deeper into the bushes.

Image

I drove on my merry way when I saw the car stopped about 200m in front of me and what looked like the silhouette of a slender cat walking in front of the car across the road. As I got closer, spots appeared and I got very excited as it was my first cheetah for this trip.

Image

Image

He posed for a few kiekies and then walked back in the road behind me, that is when I noticed that he was cripple, I believe that his leg was broken as he didn’t use it at all, he crossed the road again and then walked up an anthill for a better view

Image

He then walked a few metres further and lied down in the grass. I only saw a tail flick every now and then, and then I knew I wouldn’t see much so I moved on.
Next I saw these grumpy old men, you could see by their faces that they weren’t really awake.

Image

Image

And then when I got the S137 turn-off I was in two minds, must I check out Dukes’ waterhole or go straight with the S28? Eish, what now? So I went straight and not even a kilometre when I found this in the road…
