Lovely pic of the kudu bulls ^Q^ ^Q^

It's not a kestrel, it's a Falcon and looks very much like a Peregrine Falcon O/\ O/\

Cute baby Hyena \O

Rugrats boyfriend and mom, eish, I’m waiting for those days as they are around the corner O-/

Mongoose raiders and then some ostrich. Great pics btw. ^Q^ ^Q^

It’s been a few years since I last visited the Potholes. It still looks the same. =O: 0:

Nice start in the park, a distant cheetah, a crowded but good lion sighting and then the distant cheetah again. O/\ The park was very green in January.

The zebra having a roll on its back gave me a laugh. lol Malelane is a fair bit further from Marloth Park than Croc Bridge. :-?

You seem to have found plenty rhino, we battled in that area to find 1. O:V

Your 1st leopard has a shell lol and then a better cheetah sighting ^Q^

A long drive up to Tamboti. :shock:

A baboon stole your toothpaste. =O: =O: I’m surprised the vervets stole the onions as I got raided at St Lucia camp site and all they left were the onions. :-?

Sjoe, 6 cheetahs, that’s a big luck. O\/ O\/ O\/ O\/

Nice lions and that tail, Genet :-?

2 leopards :-0 ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^

Black mamba in the road. You must have been quick on the camera O/\ That must have been a long day on the road O**

:yes: we once had a great time during a termite emerging event with hundreds of birds including the falcons around but all we got of the falcons were a bunch of blurry dots when we tried to get pics of them . lol

The next day we packed the cars (Rugrats boyfriends mum had taken their bakkie to camp and then traveled with us in the bus around ) .We stopped at the tree and spent quite some time but alas all we got were lots of pics of a hole in a tree =O: Image

At the Hyena den there were two cubs suckling .Image

Then after a bit some movement on the side and another very fat Hyena emerged from the bushes Image

It crossed the tar right by us and went to the den
Image

An older cub appeared out to greet the new arrival .Image

As time was moving on we left to drive down the S36.This little duiker was hiding Image

and as we came around a bend close to Muzandzeni some movement on the side caught my eye ....

Did you ever, ever solve the mystery of the tail in the tree hole -O-
I think, I would have gone nuts 0*\

Your photos keep being awesome. The colours are intriguing in most of them ^Q^
(It's only in those dark conditions that they are not that lively and colourful... as it is for everyone O** )
