Just magnificent, Jan :thumbs_up:

I can just imagine the feelings of reliving the excitement at the time of this sighting and what went through your mind at the time of uploading your treasured sighting and sharing it with us. It brings back memories regarding my first time in Kruger 4 years ago having the experience when a cheetah with 6 cubs approached and walked right past us. There is no words to express it...

Thank you for sharing this with us. :clap:

Cannot wait to see more...

I've only once had a fleeting sighting of a brownie running across the road in Pilanesberg. So I really do appreciate what a wonderful sighting this is! :mrgreen:

And so perfectly captured, cannot say one is better than the other - they are all just perfect! :thumbs_up:

Super pictures of the beautiful Brownie Jan! He looks a bit scruffy in the last picture! Was the wind blowing? Very special indeed! :clap:

Bushbuddies, do you often go to Pilanesberg? I never expected to find them there too!

I hope we can also drive around to different places over weekends once my SO has retired end of September! :thumbs_up:

I love your Trip Report, but the recent photos of the Brown Hyena are my favourites.
Absolutely stunning

Especially the ones where the Hyena is having a drink with the tongue out :mrgreen:
