Hi Crested Val and SO

We do not have quite so long to count down as we will be in KNP 6th to 24th September. If we see Cheetahs or Wild Dogs we will nail them down for your arrival :lol:

Hope you are both well and that the wedding was good.

Regards,

DASSIEDELIGHT and Peregrine Falcon

Hi C Val,
I will hold thumbs for you to see those dogs. I :thumbs_up:

I experienced them during our last trip for the first time (May 2012 with VVV) and what an experience.
Will post them soon and "give' you a few as soon as they have been "photo bucketed"

I'm not quite sure where these two sweeties were snapped..........but judging by the fence, I suspect it was the De Wildt Centre :thumbs_up:

Would love to see something similar in November!! :dance:

Our Wild Dogs in February were too far away to post you a decent picture of them, but that was Cheetah2111's clan of about 22 dogs far away in the riverbed near Orpen. I am sure you will find them Crested Val!

On our way home, leaving from Lower Sabie to Crocodile Bridge, (September 2011), we found this Cheetah in the road (h4-2, just South of the S28 turn-off.) :thumbs_up:
