We visited the WCNP yesterday and was quite surprised by the lots of flowers still left. It was a marvellous real summer day and the flowers just loved it!. Here are a few photos of what it still look like.

Judging by the length of the queue of cars at the main gate (when we arrived at 09H30 it was about 300m long and still the same when we left at 13H30), they must have had a record number of visitors.

Blackie.

Here on the West Coast spring was special this season gone by. As far as I can remember you have to go as far back as 2006 to equal this years spring. Here are some photos taken in WCNP, between beginning August and mid September.

Hi Arks, Yes it was an amazing Caracal sighting for us. Beginning August, on our way to Tzarsbank, 200m from the Churchhaven turnoff. A friend of ours who is in the area often, says its the place to look. On another thread I see O-dog also says thats where Caracal are to be seen. Unfortunately entry to Churchaven is prohibited, which is a pity really.
