Hi Lionspoon!

What an amazing, exhilarating, rather scary encounter with the naughty lion :shock:

He sure did give you "that look"

Plus you got a lovely farewell from the tawny, and those gorgeous meerkats :clap:

The icing on the cake though is your last eland of the trip :thumbs_up:

A superb photo :cam:

So this trip is over, but another is just around the corner for you and Spots :mrgreen:

Thanks for sharing all the sights with us :gflower:

And I'll be right back on board when your next TR starts :popcorn:

Thanks for such a nice trip report, Mel,

although you must confess that the look of the last lion was something very special and who could get lionbored when getting such a look :tongue:

Great eland picture and indeed such sightings are always something very special :mrgreen:

Thanks for your comments and wishes,

Trrp, Pumbaa, Philip and Sharifa!

Philip, we'll be leaving for KTP on Friday and will enter the park somewhen Saturday afternoon.
Our first night will be in Kieliekrankie - can't wait! :mrgreen:

Trrp, I already employed someone for the driving who does the cooking on the braai as well.
But I could do away with a cook for the sides. :whistle:
