Tell her Val, some of us are dying to see doggies!

Heksie sees doggies before she even knows where to park her broom for the night!

Sheesh Heksie,

8 pages and we are nowhere near Croc Bridge yet. :thumbs_up:

I can handle Kruger trips like this.

I saw the doggies half an hour into an 8 day trip once. That set's the tone and settles the nerves.

:mrgreen: Great Photos and TR :mrgreen:

Road blocks can lead to awesome things :wink:

ALL BABAS, VERY CUTE :clap: Aag shame :whistle:


I know and sometimes roadblocks are actuallly just roadblocks. I have been in 3 roadblocks in Krugs where tthey were checking licenses etc. So beware by smuggling your alcohol past the gate keeper will not be enough there are spietties checking you out in the park as well. At least I'm an angel and don't do such things as drinking booze in the park while driving :littleangel:

AWESOME, I am more than just :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I can just imagine a happy happy heksie flying that broom on a HIGH!

Even more great sightings you saw, how wonderful :dance:

Like your pictures of the vervets and the ground hornbill.

What a wonderful lion sighting you had :D That one cub looks to old to be suckeling, quite strange that a lonely lioness has two different aged cubs with her :hmz: But afterall, they seem well taken care of considering the big fat tummy of the larger cub.

Thanks for sharing :thumbs_up:


I agree abour the one cub :thumbs_up: I wonder why there were cubs of different sizes and only one lioness :hmz:
Thanks for still being on this journey-I am taking a while between the episodes but I'm very busy with work etc.

Lovely kiekies :wink: .

I know hey, at least these babas obliged and aren't hiding like the ellies. We were very lucky with the babas and it was only October, imagine how December will look like :D

Carol and Richard (WildImage)


Can't wait to see you and WildImage again-just so all the other mites knows...
CarolV and WildImage was the first mites I met in the Park, it was also my first loner Kruger trip and they were so kind to me on the Lower Sabie sunset drive, even asked me to join them for some beers afterwards. But I fell asleep on the truck for like 10min so I declined to dose as I was a walking zombie.
I'm camping with WendyA, Scipio and PetraJ so we will have a lekker mini meet at Shing :dance:

Great and lovely moments you could share with the golden kitties especially the little babas are gorgeous :clap: :clap: :clap:

What a privilege to watch them drink from the milk bar :thumbs_up:


Thanks Pumbaa and I do treasure my time with those golden ones. You know the lekker thing of this trip was that the 'traffic jams' had at most 8 cars so we could sit and enjoy every single special sighting for as long as my mother allowed me to do :tongue: :thumbs_up:

Niiiiiice!!! After we met up, I couldn't see the lions on the river bank :roll: Gerhard and I sat there talking rubbish where the Lion sighting was supposed to be :roll: I think when Gerhard arrives, the animals leave :tongue: So we missed the elephant stront

Brilliant pictures :clap:
Your ex has long girly eye lashes hey. And his face was very red ... was he embarrassed to see you?


OH when we met up the last day, sorry you didn't see them but you must have seen the other pair a few kms from them hey :hmz:
Ag shame poor Gerhargdb, I don't think it is his fault, maybe you boys just didn't look in the right direction? :tongue:
I think he was, but also his new fling was in the back and he said she is the jealous type...

Hey this doesn't happen with every trip :naughty:
It was only because we had frikkadelle in the car that we see doggies and they posed for us a bit. No frikadelle means no doggies :tongue:

Lekker 30 minutes into a trip is very Lucky man :mrgreen:
I know I'm taking long but the trip had so many good sightings that I'm struggling to get there :slap: And I'm not allowed to post too many kiekies...
