Are they all bragging, teasing or inspiring you with all the photos of wild dog and cheetah!?!?!?

Well I hope they're increasing your faith!

Have a safe trip and many happy wonderful sightings!

Ok, Flickr decided to play the game this morning so my pics for you and Dungie and it comes with lots of luck in finding your very own ones soon.

These are the 2 Mopani brothers and were in the Mooiplaas Waterhole area in Feb this year.

Elsa, I sure hope those Mopani bros are still around........we may have a good chance to see them, as we are often in that area.

If we haven't seen them by the time you arrive, then the job is your's, to find them for us!!! :whistle:

As for the painted ones, we will be in that area, November and January, so here's hoping!!! :pray:

For those in the South and within reach of P/Kop there has been plenty of W/Dog activity seen at a den that is near the camp.

Hi Val,

Well of course, I'm reading other people's Travel Tales, and hearing about people who are in the park at the moment, and I can't wait, so to make the time go quicker till we drive through The Malelane Gate I am going to post some of the wildlife that we saw last year.

I will post a photo a day until the taxi arrives!!! :dance:

This Tsessebe was seen near Mopani. :thumbs_up:
