Lionspoon, I really do not want to be the cause of you economical defeat so I will try to look the other way or leave my camera in the camp every other day and spend as much time as possible in the swimming pool :tongue:

Easy for you up there in your cosy home to tell me to go and ask a lion for a close up in the middle of the desert

Not a good forum surfer ( get dizzy scrolling pages down) but I think I get this. Will be there March 10-15...and using this list, make donations for the first sighting of any of these animals....correct? And therefore I am in. Fun and rewarding at same time. Will keep a second jar ( :wink:

)in the car to drop my coins in as I go!!!!

Unsure how/where to make the donations, though.

Hi JustJo,

Thank you and welcome :thumbs_up:

You can draw up your own list of rare sightings and pledge an amount that you are comfortable with for a sighting.

e.g. R50 for first sighting of
black rhino
caracal
serval

You than put the challenge out and other mites can pledge for one/more animals on your list.
