Wow Sharifa. Your Springbok photos are magnificent. Love the youngster drinking from its mother. Really superb :clap:

And your Leopard photos are equally fantastic. :clap:

What a trip you had.

Back at Urikaruues, we were entertained by some wildebeest

Cheers

Hi Sharifa

Thanks again for sharing you experiences and lovely pics with us. :clap:

Urikaruus is a very special place. If you have to place Grootkolk , Urikaruus and Kileliekrankie in sequence. Most favourite nr 1. What would your sequence be ?

Thanks again
