Thanks everyone for your patience! :redface:
At last I can continue... :dance:

Day 5: Nossob

We were first out of the gate, headed North...and guess what we saw not too far from camp?
A family of spots! :big_eyes:

Image

Mom and 3 cubs coming from the Botswana side...

They moved quickly and there was only time for a few pics (the long grass didn't help either!) :hmz: :wall:

Image

Image

Image

This is my favourite from this sighting:

Image

They disappeared into the long grass on the SA side...and we pushed on...
We were looking for the Kwang/Bedinkt pride again and couldn't find them... :evil:

Yet, a little past Bedinkt we found this...3 brothers drinking from the puddles of the previous night's storm...

Image

...stay tuned...more to come... :popcorn: :thumbs_up:

Thank you all... :mrgreen: :thumbs_up:


Day 5: Nossob

We stayed with the 3 cheetah brothers while they quenched their thirst... :clap:

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image


Eventually they moved off into the dunes, and we pushed on...

Image

Image

The rest of the drive up to Kousaunt and Polentswa was very quiet, and so was the drive back down...
What would the afternoon deliver? :tongue: :cam:
