Good evening young James,
It is time for me to comment again

You were very lucky with the beautiful spotties :dance:

(We always see Doggies on the Numbi road - at least for the last 4 years. Hope you get lucky

)

Cheetah My friend.

WOW, I just caught up again but 2 AMAZING episodes. A Honeymoon couple and than A single Brutus. WOW. Really enjoyed the episode. Glad your Ouma enjoyed her time as well.

I will be eagerly awaiting your next episode. I wonder what next has the rainbow got in store for you :popcorn:

Back on track here... And WOW Cheetaikie!!! :big_eyes:

Not 1, not 2 but 3 beautiful leopards to catch up with. First one for Oumie, now 3 for the parents! You are a GOOD boy! :thumbs_up:

Love the Bruinslangarend... :tongue:

Now you're going to have to keep the birdbook close for all the translations to Afrikaans. I have to keep on doing it for the English names... :slap:

Its the same man I saw on the S1 .... that collar looks a little uncomfortable!
What amazing photos ..... and those sunsets mmmmmmmm!! Can't wait to be there again in Jan.

Hope Ouma shared some sherry to toast your sightings.

Yesssss that is indeed the very same Brutus :dance:

We shall both be there in Jan

I moved the booking from Malalane to Skuks. It will serve the first timers well with the swimming pool and shop there in camp :thumbs_up:

If they don't manage to rise to come on a morning drive with me, they can just snooze in and chill in the pool :lol:

They planning on taking board games and all sorts!! I guess I must be patient with three first time Krugerians

I'm hoping to show them the big 5! The lions must play ball for the guests please

:doh: Another BIG Brutus - really Cheetah :naughty:

Well, at least, I can always watch the lazyhorses on your TR. :dance:

The pics are really great - and Brutus is such a beautiful guy :clap:

That sunset :whistle:

it's Kruger magic - from beginning to end :dance:

Moenieworrynie, ek tel al die slapies tot Mei - (don't worry - I am already counting down for LS 2013) :thumbs_up:

Greetings from a cold, windy and wet Karoo.

Maybe I will see you there at LS in May!!!! :dance:

We have a family trip in Kruger next year! Its either in May, Or August. We have yet to see based on my dad's work

And Lower Sabi is definitely on the cards :dance:

Your camp

I will be in Kruger again in January. I am taking three people my age who have never been to Kruger before. Hoping to show them the magic

They said they will pay petrol, and we split the rest if I will be their guide. So now I am hoping to ENTHUSE them into being Krugarians too :dance:

I hope we will be blessed with the big 5! Four nights in Skukuza :thumbs_up:

Another beautiful Leopard! My, but you were lucky with the spotted ones! :clap:

Yes indeed we were

But it is a good area for leopard!! All different leopards. 1km West of the watergat turn off was the female in tree. 1km East of watergat was Brutus, and on the H11 by the bridge just East of the S1 was the mating couple. So all our leopard sightings within 6kms and it just so happened to be within 24hours. But rest assured, the leopard craze is now over in the TR. :lol:

Wendy!!!
I was getting frustrated waiting for you I must admit But now you have made it!!! The TR will go on The korhaan popping thing is magical Thanks!

And no doubt you were frustrated as I was AWOL again! It is hard spending so much time in the park then returning to tons of work, but hey, I’ve managed to catch up again!!!

Sorry “my leopard” didn’t make an appearance for you at Duke’s, but glad you appreciated the rain, flowers and other animals who were there to say hello to you!

Only three sightings of “Willies” on your trip? That’s cause they’ve all moved up north!!! SO glad Heksie and I got to see them between Shing and Punda – one of the challenges set for us on the Brownie Challenge and more money for our beloved unmentionables!

I love the pictures of the zebbies “posing” – that 2nd shot is a classic!

Glad Ouma got to see the lazy horse in the tree.

Just love the baba baboons – soooooo cute! Nice dragonfly pic too – looks like it’s doing a handstand!

What a lovely sighting of the spotted honeymoon couple and then the big guy with the collar – awesome!

Beautiful sunset too ... *sigh* ... I am a sucker for those Kruger sunsets and sunrises!

No I was just waiting for you and Lion Queen to hop on board before the next update! And you both arrived :clap:

Your Dukes leopard didn't make an appearance when I went looking for him that first night at LS during Brownie time either :slap:

Truth be told, I was actually looking for the cheetah family! But ja your leopard only appears for you there :naughty:

Good

the willies were all up North for the rhinos :clap:

Now they can spread out again :lol:

Cheetah - This trip just got better and better for you.

Love Brutus - What a beauty :thumbs_up:

................and as for Ouma - She had a great afternoon as well............................!

Ja it was a lucky 24 hours Norms :dance:

But now the leopard mania is over :lol:

From the H11, to the watergat turn off on the S1 has for a while now been a good area for leopard :dance:

And this summer has been the best area to see the Skukuza pack of dogs :hmz:

Carol g wrote:

Cheetah,Brutas is a beauty,and those doggies :dance:

You certainly had a big lucky charm on your shoulder.Thanks so much for sharing . Did Ouma have enough sherry left for the rest of the trip?

We paced the Sherry drinking until the last night :lol:

I bought it in Hazyview because my ouma was saying she doesn't know how she is going to be able to handle the cold :lol:

Thanks mate!!

A leopard spree! Reminds me of your leopard spree on your TR of the South

Leopards are so unpredictable. Sometimes not a single leopard on a trip, other times they show themselves to you nicely :dance:
