Gorid reminds me of Ikhayea who entertained guests for day on end. But Gorid was even more placid and her display took much longer than Ikhaya's. Very happy for you that you got to see her in that intimate way - and more than once even

Saturday 15th May 2021
Our last full day in the park and on our drives from Rooiputs we had an array of different sightings
We were welcomed to an orange sunrise as we headed north in the morning
Not far out of camp this hyeana was walking down the road towards us. Pictures of the animal, with a severely damaged mouth has been posted before in other travel tales, and despite it’s injury, it seems to be managing just fine.

After the hyeana and on our way up to Kij Kij these starlings were having a morning conference
One left the meeting
And this black backed jackal was enjoying the sun
And some wildebeest grazing
Coffee at Melkvlei, and then we carried on

For our last evening drive from Rooiputs, no guessing as to in which direction we travelled.
North........ In search of cats at Kij Kij
It wasn’t to be
