Okay, so I better get this started. I have just finished catching up on my November 2011 KTP report which I titled "Cheetah Fest 2011" (you can read it here: viewtopic.php?style=2&f=27&t=65779).

That particular trip was spur-of-the-moment and slotted in when I could get a quick week off from work before switching to a different department.

THIS trip was already planned and paid for at that time...

We would spend 2 weeks in the Kalahari from the end of February to middle March 2012.
Hop on board and see where this took us...I am starting the processing of the images as I type this.

:mrgreen:

Wow - great photo to start & can't wait for the rest of the TR (don't keep us waiting any longer)

I had to cancel my 18 day trip to KTP now in December due to work commitments, so getting by on TR's for now - so bring it on
