Alright, I will agree to this being another exciting morning! lol

Boy, that leopard is huuuge! :shock:

Cute wild dog puppies. Just a shame that one doesn't seem to be able to enjoy such a sighting till the end
with so many other cars around and quite a few of them pulling into the sighting too. At least our experience
last time. We were so KTP orientated where hardly anyone would do such a thing (at least not up till now,
I'm sure that'll change in the foreseeable future too) that we were totally flabbergasted that people would
take our keeping distance from the doggies as invitation to close the gap 0- :X: 0=


God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Great tale and the sightings are just amazing .Not great having neighbors that interfere with your plans for peace and quiet time :no: Love the commentary on the driving it is always fun trying to drive in reverse and take pics and try not to drive through some other vehicles or bushes O** . After Lions finding the Wild dogs again and more Leopard and a really impressive boy as well ^Q^ \O

He might not be "Sausage" but he sure is big and fat lol ...and not nervous ;-)
Agreed, the teenagers had vicious teeth and the leopard was a Heffalump \O

Ja, a big boy that leopard! :shock:

It is a nice thing that the doggies don't care two hoots about traffic, hey BC? O:V

A fair morning so far, but it's still going :twisted:

Ja, a fatty of a leopard

The dogs, especially the adults, seem to ignore the cars \O I have seen dogs run from a car though when given a fright, but then return

That leopard hangs out on the other side of the river normally, so he was cruising around where he shouldn't have been, but I think he's big enough to take on the local, "Sausage" ..0..

Agreed, Kruger is too crowded in the south, especially during holiday season and manners at a sighting can go out the window O/

This was a very lucky trip for certain cats Roger \O

It irritates me that some parents let their kids run wild O/

Some excellent sightings to kick start your trip ^Q^ ^Q^
And the leopard luck as always! I don't know how you guys do it 0:

Shame about the terrorists in camp... one of the downsides of school holidays I guess.

Strange that the booking people did not put the "terrorists" next to each other :-? This lack of interest in the visitors' wellbeing bothers me 0'
If they had the same reservation number they would have been put together, pity \O

Terrorists! Thank heavens for tea and biscuits. 0*\

Your days are emotional rollercoasters, aren't they. Too much living with females... =O:
Ja, I'm overly hyped at times but as you say "Thanks heavens for tea and biscuits" <dop>
