Thanks for watching nan, Bushcraft and Flutterby.

VIDEO No 12

The two big black maned lion of Pilanesberg, Leru and Fisa, seen at Tilodi Dam near Manyane. Looking at the second lion it would appear as if he had just received a severe kick in the mouth. His eyes even seemed to be bruised and some teeth in half.

Thanks nan, Flutterby and Bushcraft.

That was a most awesome sighting.

The previous video was taken in October 2009.

VIDEO No 13.

In October 2010 we again saw Leru and Fisa this time on the Kwa Maritane Road near the junction with Tshepe and Kwatala Drives.

Hi Flutterby. We are so pleased that you saw these two magnificent males as well.

We are a bit concerned as we have not seem them since October 2010.

Lets move away from cats for a while and have a look at three bouncing babies.

Wow - what a lovely compliment. Thanks very much ExFmem.
A warm welcome on board and we hope that you will enjoy the clips still to come including this one:

VIDEO No 15:
A lioness at a kill with her two cubs. At one stage we heard a lion roar and the two cubs immediately took off into the bush while the mother sat up and looked around. Taking a break from filming the lions I filmed a jackal that approached the waterhole where the lion had their kill. In the meantime I suddenly caught sight of an elephant approaching from the rear in my rear view mirror which resulted in the usual distress cry.
This video is a compilation of film taken over three days. Enjoy.

EISH - I seem to have lost my passengers :o0ps: :o0ps:

Maybe it was the ellie at the fence that had them running for cover. -O- -O-

Anyway, even with an empty bus duty calls and the trip must go on.

VIDEO No 19.

A hippo eating elephant dung next to the walkway to Mankwe Hide and a leopard lying in shade on Kgabo Drive near Pilanesberg Centre.
