Ag man, it's lekker on Oom Paul se plaas! :thumbs_up: Like your new collective nouns - so appropriate. :thumbs_up: Those H12 Bridge Bobjin Bandits - they are like ALWAYS there. And they ARE bandits! :rtm: Once we were there - two of the big fellows decided to have a bit of a fight... Eventually one started running... over the roof of our car :shock: , and the other followed suit! :naughty: Very naughty bobjins those H12-ers!

Hey Cheetah! I finally made it!

I know what it’s like waiting for the rain to stop. I experienced the same kind of weather when there with my Mum in October.

I love the black bellied korhaans when they do their popping thing!

Glad your ouma got to see the leons! Lovely shots at Lake Panic

Awesome kiekies and story-telling! (Love the conversation you had with Forlorn Frederick, the hyena!)

:popcorn:

:clap: :clap: :clap: Great Episode and love the new words you used.

Your TR are really amazing and just love them to bitz. Great pics, and looks like Frederick was gloom like the weather and it might be a fact that his friends chased him away from a meal they stole from the Lions.

You really lucky to see Nyala's and great pics of the bachelor group.

Thanks Kallis my lad 8) Glad you enjoying the ride!!

Just caught up as i had no internet for some weeks - great start so far :clap: :clap: It seemed to be really rainy these days, but you had some nice sightings - the hyaena looked very relaxed :D

Yes indeed. VERY rainy. Most of the dirt roads were being closed due to flooding. You had to go down to Lower Sabi to get on dirt roads!

Just catching up again, really like Fred's expressions - seemed as if he understood you perfectly :shock: (where did you learn to speak hyenese??)

When alone in the car you can do exactly what you want to do - talk to the aminals, look at da bush, check out the birdies etc. :D

Lovely post this :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :thumbs_up:

I tell you what Billy5 ...
people may call me crazy, but sometimes you do encounter an animal. I am really encounter them. You do not just note what type of animal this is. But he speaks to you. Fred was one of those 8) :dance:
Glad you enjoying the ride! Thanks for hanging around!

Love your hyaena, cheetah,

and it is a while ago since we spotted that far South a nyala :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Although the roads around Skukuza are always good for the Big 5 and more the dense bushes there are frustrating. I remember a couple of years ago when I asked a man in his car what is was looking at and he answered a cheetah crossed just the street and nobody saw ever again that cheetah not a glimpse of it :wall: :wall: :wall:

Eish :slap: That is very frustrating! Anything could happen there areound Skuks and it can be over as quickly as it happened :shock:
