Thanks for the replies everyone :)

One sighting that I forgot to post was this amazing lion sighting. I think it was one of the mega prides. Was on the Satara Tshokwane road about 15 KM N of Tshokwane

We counted 21

Enjoy :)

Panekoek! What a gorgeous Lion pride in the road of all places! :clap: :clap:

Welcome back! Lovely Cheetah and Lion sightings in your previous post! I wouldn't care less about a dead battery if I have two beautiful cats to look at while waiting for help to arrive! Simply awesome! :dance: :dance:

You were lucky to see a Cape Clawless Otter, and even luckier to find another Leopard in a tree! :clap: :clap:

So the next installment is the first KTP trip. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

We first went to Augrabies for a night and then headed off to KTP in the morning.
Image

Arriving at KTP I saw Jan, gave him some parcels that I delivered for Tsamma Land and he told us about 4 cheetahs that were spotted not too far up the Auob Side.

We went to check and were not dissapointed. :thumbs_up: :dance: :dance: :dance:
