The Grootkolk Lions (25/26.1.2012)

All the night, one roared... I discovered the culprit in the morning... and understand in the same time why... he was the third... the two lovers was a little bit further... in honey moon

They come the 2 days and nights we were at Grootkolk. Both come to my bungalow, but... my friend move... and they change way, pass between the left bungalow, ask Franco for something and continue their way

à suivre ...

Quite agree -- even if you don't see or hear a lion at all for the 5 days you spend there :whistle:

My SO and I were lucky to get 3 nights at Grootkolk for October 2013 and are so looking forward to it. I can see we are not going to get any sleep whilst in KTP because we will be watching the waterholes. I don't care if lions keep me awake all night! Just bring it all on! :dance:

we always take our spotlight with us, which was very useful as the times we stayed at Grootkolk the light at the waterhole was not working
we used it too for the jackals who with the old lay out of the braai came very close sniffing and once even stole the chicken from the braai!
we have been fortunate to stay 3 times in no 1 and the other times in 2
and staying at the camp while the others were off to spot something (nothing going on bla bla bla at Grootkolk) we had a visit by the leopard.
