Cheetah, your mom's look of wonder is the best picture that could have been posted, ever

Mighty glad your ouma got to see the leons. I know about cat droughts, but luckily the rest of the park makes up for that.

Do keep the bus rolling squire

GOOD - so my Cheetah-friend has some Afrikaans roots! It is then very good for you to concentrate on my Afrikaans birdnames in my TR's... :rtm:

To share with Ouma, of course! :wink:

What is this thing with the senior burgers? :hmz:

On our recent trippie to Shing we also had some senior burgers for neighbours - two couples. The men would go out for drives some mornings, but the women never joined them...! That's the best time to be out there! :whistle:

Luckily for me - it seems times have changed! :thumbs_up:

Lekker leons! So glad for Oumie! :dance:

So from Harry Potter to Lord of the Rings :hmz:

I'm so so so glad ouma got to see her golden kitties :dance:

and turn me into the direction of the oupas and I will give them a piece of my mind about not allowing her to join them in the morning drive :naughty:

Love lake tranquility :thumbs_up:

Jaaaa look the oupas must get with it hey :roll:

Lake Tranquility is always a winner

The only problem is those cameras going mal! We were sitting there all quietly until the grey heron took off in flight. It sounded like the second world war in a bunker :shock:

Now how come you didn't let us know about the tuskless elephant. No signal or what?!!
You're 1-0 up on me now ...

Glad Ouma saw the lions too!

Tuskless Elephant STA at H3 and H1-1 junction

Rain Rain go away,

)
Gandalf is here too :thumbs_up:

Gollum not welcome. Oliphaunt -Ok, i'm resisting the temptation to go to that nursery rhyme.
Loving it-this TR I mean.
This rainbow is sure to produce GOLD-KRUGER GOLD. maybe 2+1+1+1cheetah?

OMG. Cheetah, What a wonderful Start :clap:

Great photo's and it is sometimes the general game that make the trips to Kruger so exciting.

Cant wait for more :popcorn:

So true my lad! It is often the general game that makes a trip! And I certainly appreciate it more on the first and last day for some reason :thumbs_up:

True, the first day, and the last day I want to spend hours with the Impi warriors :hmz:

Now coming to today's episode.

WOW Cheetah, What an amazing episode, full of Big 5 :dance:

Lions are always soo special, Your ouma must be very happy indeed :dance:

, The women not going on game drives :shock:

, I know thats often the case with my mom, although the reason is because mom does not like early mornings, it is a mission trying to get her out of bed.

The Renoster is really does look HUGE even in the pic :big_eyes:

Great pic of the birdies :clap:

Really enjoyed every bit of it.

The tuskless Elephant looks like an Asian elephant :mrgreen:

Really enjoyed it.

Thanks Kallis :thumbs_up:

No comment on your poetry

No wonder nakedphant wasn't happt to see you, must have a huge inferiority complex walking around like that

Nice to see mom

Billy5!!
No commentary on my poetry is poetry in itself

Nakedphants are mos a bit insecure. Eish.

The picture does seem to sum up holiday in Kruger

My ouma was VERY ecstatic :dance:

Now I must admit, as for myself - I thought: ag look there are sleeping lions. I wanted to show my ouma nice lions in the road or doing something! But to see my ouma so happy to see them!! Teaches me an appreciation of whatever we find

And you will come to see that we struggled to see Lions on this trip. As long as Kruger Magic somewhere over the rainbow is enough :thumbs_up:
