Lions lions lions!
Even on the beach!
That leopard also looks battered, Peej!
Sounds like lots of cars there on Eloff Street...

Okay, I fell off the waggon once again due to work commitments
But I see, I haven't missed much... leopards and lions kept showing up for you (the latest must be no. 15 then?) and generally you were extremely lucky again. However, I'm also sure that your whole family got eagle eyes and will spot things others miss. Just need to think of the "Can you see the animal" quiz
Awesome photos! They got such a fantastic depth in them that they almost appear to be 3D. And very crisp and excellent light balance.

Ermmm... yes number 15 indeed! We certainly were very lucky this trip without doubt... but I think we've become a bit better at spotting leopards over time

The expression of the vervet kid is priceless
Also the passenger who missed the last water stop is hilarious

Like some people falling asleep in the bus/train returning from work, who end up at the terminal
"Dead" leopards don't count
The one lion looks miserable

Brilliant installment, Peej!

The terrapin!
And a plethora of cats!
(You know what a plethora is?)
The first scrawny lion pic is great as there is a difference in lighting on the centre lion?

More Lions.
We also saw elephants doing similar along the H7 near Orpen preferring to drink from the dugout holes rather than the open water pools .Suspect the pools water is not the cleanest so they prefer the sand filtered water .
That Terrapin is

should go in the fumy animal pics competition for sure
