Hi BB
I can see you are preparing well :dance: :dance:
I hope you have a great trip.
Try the Robberts for your tablet sometime. I had Sasol before Robberts was available and I never use it anymore

Hey leopards, BB is coming!


Hi Bushie,
Your leopard wish has been granted.
They will be chained at various exotic spots, just for you! :lol:

Have a safe travel and a blast in the park.

Thanks all y'all!

Last weeknd I was preoccupied with the Argus tour - my wife completed no 23 - and on Monday our thoughts turned to this trip.

I was a bit concerned that I was not excited yet. Also having been to the parks many times before, I know you cannot dictate on sightings. The parks are like tempestuous women. They reveal to you what they wish. But having prepared the booklet and received the leopard hotspot report from Wanderw, my wife's cousin, the excitement has arrived in full power.

Show us your finest KTP!

Hurry up Rick & Wendy, get on that plane!

BB - have a great trip and drive safely :pray:

Hi BB, have a wonderful trip full of interesting sightings!! I just returned today, it is EXTREMELY dry with very little grazing both in Auob and Nossob river area. If it does not rain soon it will be a long and hard winter. It is part of the normal weather cycles but sad to see the park and it's animals take such a beating :(
