They were my thoughts too Chicakdee!!
Not even full grown yet and that male lion is already a huge fellow :shock:

Oh Lionspoon, your last day......

But you got fantastic sightings of the eland, BEF and baby cape foxes :clap:

Now I wait with great anticipation to hear about that naughty lion! :popcorn:

Already it is your last day in the park

A stunning sunrise to start the day always helps lift the spirit

We are all waiting to see what the beautiful but naughty lion was up to :hmz:

Those adorable little cape foxes are just so huggable and beautiful pics :thumbs_up:

Catching up again LS - I missed some great stuff...

Just love your daytime moon shot - the African colours with the blue, blue sky and the moon are just stunning.
And all the cute little babies!!! I want one to take home as a pet :roll:

I agree - young Mr Handsome is quite a spectacular specimen.

Sad we're at your last day - I've really enjoyed your trip (and I honestly haven't got lion bored

)...

But I'm DYING to hear about the naughty lions!!! :popcorn:

Your Cape Foxes are just too precious

I hope there is still more coming. :hmz:

Catching up again! What can I say about the lions? :wink:

So pleased that you got some AWCs. Gorgeous owl! :clap:

My favourites - Charlie and kids, the cape vulture, the BSK having brunch and of course those 3 cute spotty faces! :clap:

Definitely warranted the beamer we saw when we met you guys! :wink:

you saw so many babies and those Cape Foxes :dance:

this Lion has a "V", like "vilain" :lol:

naughty in French :lol:

Hi a-m! That French 'V' certainly fits for that lion. :twisted:

Oh, and did you receive my parcel with the little fox? :lol:

Timbits wrote:

Oh, the little foxes are so adorable :clap:

Nice shots of the naughty boy too.
We always visit at the end of August, early September. It's easier to get a month of vacation time then. Canada operates on skeleton staff during July and August because that is school holiday time. We would consider December/January except for the fact that it gets so hot. +40c is just too hot for a couple of Northeners. :whistle:

Timbits, I can relate to not being able to tolerate the mean heat... Us Northern
Hemispherers are just too soft and would melt away. :slap:

Hi Lionspoon :sup:

Lost for words....Reminds me of an old Louis Amstrong song, "What a Wonderful World" :thanx:

Philip, KTP is just magical and the song is actually very apt to describe that place. *sigh*

Thanks, Jan! But that lion is too naughty and doesn't deserve to decorate a room. :lol:

Just kidding. But gladly, you can't see the collar on that photo.

Ja, time is already up again. But we'll arrive in KTP 4 weeks from now, so I'll hopefully be able to report new sightings after that. :wink:

Minus the babies that is.

And I'm really curious to see whether the elands are still around. :thumbs_up:
