There were also lions at Nossob yesterday morning around 10.30 :D

And the brownie again on Sunday night, a spotted hyena last night.

Nossob looks hot at the moment and as the antelopes stay, hopefully the predators will as well. :mrgreen:

Interesting news from Nossob. Yesterday morning there were lions at the waterhole and just after gate opening the lions decided to walk right next to the fence at the camping grounds towards the Bitterpan road.

Twee Rivieren Sunset drive:

Bat eared foxes (plenty), Cape foxes, African Wild cat/s and plenty general game.

Morning drive (same route as sunset drive).

Two stunning black maned lions at Rooiputs, young male lion at Samevloeiing and large herds of general game

@Dreamer,

The cheetah which was seen near Mata-Mata did go and drink from the new waterhole, as a matter of fact they had a kill just outside the camp.

Hope you will at least come and say HI before moving up into the park.

Just got news from Nossob, there has been quite a few lions close to the camp and they serenade the guests during the night.

Leopards have been seen at Samevloeiing, Urikaruus and Montrose

Now this is what happens when we 'Cry Wolf' to many times.

I just had a guest (from germany) walked into my office with a picture they took on the top dune road. He asked me if I could ID the animal for them......Guess what was it PANGOLIN..... :wall: I have asked for the picture maybe i will be able to post it
