That was a small one, the big ones are really ugly and are attracted by lights which can be disconcerting :-)

First thing next morning we headed down to the place we saw the lion the previous evening. I wasn't expecting it to still be there but I was pleasantly surprised.

We then took the drive along Mankwe Way passing a Scrub Hare.

And a mystery bird.

We got back onto the Kgabo Drive to head back to Bakgatla to pack up when we came across a traffic jam. This is where they were looking.
