Re: Memories of Marloth and Tamboti Trip Jan 2018
I did on my old cell phone but don't seem to have them on hand We were in 18 and 19 a bit further away from the ablutions but still very nice .We must say that we had a problem with the steps as they are made of plastic and we had some drizzle that made them very slippery in fact three of our party slipped off the stairs at various times .We did report it all that it needs is some of the non slip strips put on the steps . Apart from that we had running battles with the Monkies who stole our onions one evening during the braai and the Baboons raided our tent one day while we were out and stole our toothpaste .
Was hot in the day but had a few nights with rain ...
and some more to come

Re: Memories of Marloth and Tamboti Trip Jan 2018
The following day we decided to drive the S39 S40 Timbavati loop.
We found a Ostrich on its own
This Steenbokkie was being very cautious
A bird was on the lookout
Plenty of Vultures were sunning themselves
A Nyala was slinking through the bushes
This Giraffe was hiding behind a bush
We met another vehicle on the road who told us they were watching two lions in the distance >We searched and searched but only found this one Male far off in the verkykers.
We were driving along and spotted this a Cheetah just before a sharp bend
We drove around the corner to try get a better shot and found another car on the other side we stopped to not disturb them but the passenger frantically waved us forwards and then we spotted not one or two or even three but 6 Cheetahs
They seemed interested in something in the bushes and moved off .We tried to find them again but they moved away from the road .
We carried on with our loop ....

Six cheetahs!
Great sightings especially for summer, Rog! That road can be hit-and-miss!
I like the distant lion...
