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

They do tend to cause a disturbance when they buzz around your head, don't they?

I've seen those ones, they are among the ugliest critters I've ever seen!

Did anyone spot the animal?

Lion

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.
