Thank you for the comments...appreciate them all :dance:

We were lucky to spot an African Wildcat in the middle of the day relaxing in a tree.

He/she posed for some interesting facial expressions .

To be continued....

Appreciate all the comments and views :dance:

Day 9:

We had a huge thunder storm during the night and it was a total different road the morning with water in big pools along the road.

Our first sighting was our first decent Bat-eared Fox sighting in golden light ,still wet from the nights rain looking for food.

A Lanner Falcon was also cleaning himself after the rain.

We saw lots off dead Eland near TR as uploaded on the beginning of my report.This was our first and last Eland sighting on our trip.

To be continued....KTP came alive after the rain!
