A big gang of boons out walking :-)

The road in the pic can get like that in a moment if it is raining hard enough :shock:

Thank you for yet another exciting TT, even if a bit short of leopards O** --00--
I wanted more than 2 cows =O:

The dirt roads at Imfolozi are worse than I have seen them before O/

Yes, not our best trip sighting wise, but we got 13 live leopard, 1 dead, which is good for us in April, but it just felt like long quiet periods with not much general game around to create interest -O-

It's nice to be able to break your trip home with a stay at iMfolozi. \O

You may have battled with the long grass but you still had some amazing sightings! :yes: Thanks for sharing your trip, always a pleasure to read. :ty:
Agreed, I would need at least 10 cows =O: =O:

The Imfolozi stop allows one to feel the holiday isn't over just yet =O: 0:

Dogs on the S-3!!! What a beautiful road but almost always has fewish animals! ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^

Looks like you get up early most mornings, looking at the shadows?

We must find the OSV driver and tell him he got an IQ rating from Bushsnob! =O: =O: =O:

Personally I would have bliksemed that border official... O**

Ghastly baboon behaviour, but not my crowd in KZN... :no:

Thanks so much for all of this, as always BC, and a great pleasure meeting up with you and the Clan again! X#X X#X X#X
You know what I'm overindulging on :twisted:

We have never had much luck on the S3 and only drove it because a contact informed of a resident leopard on that section lol 0:

One can't "make a speech" at border posts nowadays, unless you want to spend the day there O**

The KZN boons are normally better behaved than their KNP relatives =O:

Shot RP X#X

I'm surprised you didn't start negotiating leopards rather than cows --00-- =O: =O:

A bit after the fact Bushcraft :o0ps: but eventually I have made it through another Brown, cat magnet TT ^Q^ ^Q^

I missed this because we were in Botswana (TT to follow soon) then an unexpected house move which was major after
13 years 0*\ 0*\

Inspite of the long grass you had some awesome sightings. The single leopard cub and the 2 with their mum must rank right
up there O\/ O\/ and of course the 3 lions in a row - All the cats looked fat and healthy \O

Your girls get more beautiful as they get older \O

Thanks for all the entertainment and hilarity again with good pics even if you don't think so!! ^Q^ ^Q^
