Hi there

We have been very lucky to see African Wild Cats on a few occasion in Kruger, especially around Satara - but my most memorable was on our way back to our camp site one evening. We were so fortunate to come across a Beaut walking along the dirt road - towards Bangu Dam.

We were the only car on the road and were thrilled to sit and watch her for over an hour playing in the grass along side the car, calling out for either her kittens or family??????, chase and mock hunt a large cricket etc

it was fabulous :lol:

got a few pics but even better video footage :cam:

cant wait to be back in the park in September.

Fantastic Muhammad :clap:

Also saw AWC in A circle in satara beginning of April :thumbs_up:

and two sightings of AWC close to satara on the H7. Satara area seems to be AWC central.

Aat, another great rare sighting to complement your Side Striped Jackal and Lichtensteins Hartebeest. :clap:

Were all these sightings in one trip?

During our last visit to the KTP (June 2011) we saw this one trying to catch a lapwing. Unfortunately she was did not finish her hunt but turned away and ran into the long grass I just had enough time for a quick photo.

Flying cheetah, was really happy with this one in kruger... I have had same experience like you with night drives ... seeing and photographing one are two different things.. not easy. Maybe more luck next time
