@Trrp-trrrrrrrr so glad u like my photos

@GavinW thank u

Mom and teenager headed off into the bushes after hearing a while lot of roaring over the hill. A Jackal deciding to kick up some dust as he also left the area.



This eagle at 14nd watergat was keeping an eye on proceedings.



Some young kudu's posed for a silhouette photograph as we headed towards Dertiende watergat.



One crossing just in front of us.



While at the waterhole 2 wildebeest entertained with a battle parade while on blended knee. I wonder where the lucky lady is???


While siping our coffee and munching down n some rusks we hear the feinting barking sound of what we are pretty convinced is a Cheetah! Could it be? Another sighting this year of the spotted one?? Then he makes his appearance. Well coffee and rusks go flying as we grab for the cameras!



After wandering up and down he sat down at the tree right opposite us. Lucky indeed!!!

Wow Cape of Storms you really a Stunning TR

That mustve been the best coffee and rusks you ever ate! beautiful cheetah absolutely lovely sighting

Awesome picture of the Jackal, and I love your silhouette of the Kudus Cape of Storms! Beautifully captured! The one crossing the road has an impressive set of horns!

What a lovely Cheetah sighting! Once again, right place at the right time is so important, if only one knows when and where!

nice silhouette of the Kudus
and nice Cheetah
is it the male who disturbed the female and her 3 cubs when she was hunting in September

Cape of Storms, just read through your TR and enjoyed it. That photo of lion with face between the 2 branches of the tree and the wildebeest contest are outstanding.
Looking forward to more.

Cape of Storms, just catching up with your very entertaining trip report.

Oh dear, poor squirrel I think I would also have been with your girls. Lovely lion sequence It certainly captured the more playful side of these magnificent creatures... and then.. I do love your silhouette thank goodness you spelt that word first

More, please.

Just caught up CoS,

and still feel sorry about the little springbokkie and its mom

However, the lion sequence with the powerful mom is magnificent and the AWCs you saw are cuties

Ready for more

@Philip1 Thanks

@Sheenaugh-Lee Coffee never tasted better!

@hilda Those Kudus were my favourite buck of the trip. First time I have seen them in KTP!

@anne-marie I think it was because he was barking and we herd little yelps in the background ;(

@Kaapsedraai
Thank you for joining! That lion kept us so entertained with it's determination to catch the little bird.

@Meandering Mouse
I had to look it up in spell check!!

@Pumbaa We were very sad but those lions did cheer us all up!


Sticking with the spotted creatures we see another Giraffe at Dalkeith. If you look at them long enough you can see the slight differences to their cozies in Kruger. Shorter neck and lighter in color.


Mr Jakalas came for a sip of liquid gold.

I never realised that the KTP Giraffes look different from those in KNP Cape of Storms! I'll check it out next week!

Great shot of the Jackal!
