Indeed Sharifa

Never ever read everywhere else that someone had ever seen N!xau besides us so it is good to know that he is still up and doing well Obviously he loves to stroll along the road in that area I am sooooo happy to see him again after so many time

Btw - Your bronw hyaena sighting is also great

Well, one good thing one could find with not many critters
visiting GK waterhole is that the question of whether to go
our or not doesn't come up.

And what a special leopard sighting. Historical even. (Pun intended )
A beautiful guy well captured. By ALL of you.

Oh, WOW!!!! Fabulous sightings and super photos by all.

Mating lions underfoot, gorgeous cape fox, lanner falcon, bateleur, PCG, brown hyena and then to be followed by a leopard that no one reported seeing for a few years

I am so .

Hi Sharifa,

I had chills reading the last two episodes. The Lions mating under the hide would have sent my wife to the sanitarium. The historic leopard sighting was awesome as well. What a handsome guy!

Thanks so much for sharing!

Really brilliant sightings ((and encounters) and the pics to compliment them

Lions under the hide ( up close and personal ) the brownie and a beautiful leopard

Hi Sharifa

I think I speak for everyone when I ask
Why are we waiting

Sharifa, I have had a lot of catching up to do.

Firstly, a belated happy birthday to the driver. I hope that it was a good one and he could let go and have a totally good time.



Secondly, lovely to meet your special family.

As ever, what a pleasure following your report. I'm afraid my heart is still stuck on the little fox.

more, please.

Hi anne-marie

and maybe friend of Rosa too

Although the brown hyena was in the distance they were thrilled



Would be nice to know

@ janeli - My angel is the Driver

@ Sky- not only lions can be majestic

@ peterpiper - For a minute you had me there. Was wondering how I could have missed you

@ LS- Like the pun

@ Sky - Ask the Driver, not me Alright, coming soon

@ MM- Thank you on behalf of the Driver

N!xau went into the riverbed, still marking trees



completely ignoring the haarties





We had followed him for 3 km and 45 minutes before he disappeared into the dunes

On the way back to Grootkolk we find a Ludwigs Busttard





a baby gemsbok - looks very much like a roan



then just before Kaa, I tell the driver to stop, honey badgers. There were three of them but on the move and difficult to get good photos

Another great episode with lots of stunning photo's .

Although N!xau ignored the harties, they did not the same when looking at the photo's .

Beautiful Ludwigs Busttard . On my wishlist for sure .

The baby gemsbok is so cute and really does look like a roan if not looking closely .

Love the honey badger pic's. Must concur they are not easy to get a pic of, however you and Val did great .
Thanks for sharing .

This is an extra special trip shared by the family and what an amazing start.
Stunning pics of N!xau and the birdies!
Plus such an experience to have Lions right under your feet.
Sharifa!

Honey Badger
your family went for the first time and they saw... all that Kgalagadi could offer
even Ludwig

Oh my goodness...........three HB's!!!!

Nothing wrong with those photos ...........my HB photo's are all of the backside as the ran away!!!!

Avuxeni Sharifa and family.

Just as I was sobbing at the fact that your recent TR had concluded, surprise surprise, you follow up with yet another TR.
Just warms my heart.

Thank yo so much for your kindness in sharing again.

Goodness me, I am rubbing my hands with anticipation and glee
