Just found you guys. :dance:

We are KNP junkies as you know, but decided to visit KTP in Sept 2011. We thoroughly enjoyed it, and though I can't see it ever replacing Kruger, we will definitely return to the red dunes.

Travel safely dear friends and say "hi" to LQ from me please.

I wish you a wonderful trip with amazing sightings.

Can't wait to hear all about it!!! :thumbs_up:

@Sky,
What a fabulous shot of the leopard. :clap:

Have you considered adding it to the Kgalagadi Leopard Identification thread http://www.sanparks.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=18567 and sending the info to AstroMatt?

I would love to know which leopard this is.
