I have also seen AWC in Satara camp. It was also late at night, returning from a bushbraai. It was feeding on a chop bone

Not good Dinkyest
My AWC was fortunately catching insects and stuff in the grass.

We saw an AWC in Tamboti at the end of a night ride.

I know many people are seeing AWC regularly in Satara in the evenings.

I saw this African Wild Cat next to the road on our way to Tambotie Tented Camp.

The eyes of the African Wild Cat kittens only open 10 - 14 days after birth.

Did You Know?
The African Wild Cat can catch birds as big as a Helmeted Guineafowl. They are caught close to waterholes and caught out of the air.

I would advise readers to go to Leeukos's trip report for more detail on the cat.

Great images and stories

Whilst travelling on the S36 during the middle of the day I saw an AWC ad her kitten in the road. As I was stopping they quickly moved off into the thick undergrowth. After scouring the bush I saw the mother on an anthill and managed to get a photo of her. My first photo of an AWC.

Great sighting and photo!

Beautiful picture adw

Thank you Roan and Meandering Mouse for your kind comments.

Thye AWC in Satara is still there she comes into A circle the section alongside the fence every night about 7 to 9 pm and will allow u to approach to within 6 or 7 meters, she does not like flash too much and will move off if it is used too much. We saw her everynight from 29/09 to 02/10 2012.
