Lionspoon,

Absolutely wonderful pics and sightings

Too cute the baby jackal, and little chat feeding baby.

AWC stunning

Pumbaa, Bushbuddies, nan, Trrp - thank you!

Here comes part two of the other sightings of that day:

PGC perching on top of a dead tree along the Nossob riverbed:


Swallow-tailed bee-eater just opposite where we found our cute AWC:


Nesting giant eagle owl just outside TR. Loved that one as well, but would have never found it on my own. Thanks to Jannie for telling me where to look:


Yellow mongoose – for a change not in a camp or at a picnic site but roaming the Aoub riverbed:


The empty looking landscape of the Aoub:


Wildebeest congregation at Kampfersboom:


LBJ (lark of some sort?) at Auchterlonie picnic site: *edit* It's a spike-heeled lark (tick!)


Our afternoon drive revealed almost nothing with this springbok roadblock being the most memorable encounter:


The vast landscape of red sand dotted with green shrubs against a deep blue sky from our balcony at KK:


And finally the day saying farewell:

and the festival continue
glad to see the lamp is still at the waterhole

Wonderful , especially the AWC and pup, and scenery shots and...... on second thought, ALL of them

Looking forward to more of the same

Nice pics LS.

Cute cub....

Good kitty.....

I am not used to seeing the scenery so dry/thin/sparse...especially at KK

Wonderful sightings ....and that is only the first part of the trip....

Such fantastic pictures very fine quality....very very nice

Super pics of the birds

Love the road block....showing the beautiful green trees in the background.

Thanks for sharing

What beautiful colours Lionspoon.

Stunning picture of the Bee-eater. They seldom pose so diligintly, and your LBJ is really cute.

Hi Lionspoon

Awesome sightings before 9.30am
LOVE the jackal pup and the AWC

And perhaps the rest of the day was a bit quiet, but my goodness, the scenery and the colours.....stunningly beautiful

I wonder if Dad and I can do KNP and KTP in our 5 week trip in 2015

Had to catch up again Lionspoon! Your pictures are just Great! Especially the Vulture and Jackal! Of course I also love the Jackal pups too! So cute!

Stunning Gemsbok, and your landscape pictures are just awesome! Beautiful bird pictures too, as well as the Springbok!

Thanks for sharing this lovely trip with us!
