:cry: :cry: can't believe its over! Surely there must be some more. Please. OK, pretty pretty please :pray: . Stunning photo's of the Crimson breasted shrike. Also been trying for years to get a decent shot. They hate cameras i'm sure. And just love those Pygmy falcons.
49°- phew. i don't think i'd make it.
Thanks Sharifa for a wonderful TR, and thanks too to Val, Rockhound and of course your faithful Driver.

Finished? :big_eyes: That was the second one since November while I'm still going at mine
from October :redface: Oh well... :lol:

Another great trip indeed. And you did not disappoint on the spots. But on the lions.
You still saw way more than I had initially believed. :lol:

Miera is a real showcat. I so hope to see her again as well on our next trip.
We haven't been exactly blessed with leopards on our October trip. :roll:

Thanks so much for sharing you journey with us again, Sharifa and Duke!
An extra thanks to Val and Rockhound for contributing via additional pics. :clap:

Now to find out about that mysterious trip. :whistle:
