They soo can COS

And too true about the first Kruger sunrise!

Hey Bud just found this report and read the whole thing.
I remember that incessant rain in the South as I was also Krugerizing at the same time.
Maybe that golfer should rather use a weed eater by the look of her swing.
Smaak your Im to sexy and those Lido chicks dressed as zebbies.
As for ouma`s LIT just awesome.
Awaiting some more great :cam:

please.

How have you just found it now?? :slap:

Glad to have you here :clap:

Just luvvly! I seem to be one of the few who enjoy watching baboons - maybe there's some connection with them from my previous life. Find their antics so fascinating, humorous and so human like. I find them very entertaining and interesting.
It was good to get the sun back ... 4 days rain was genoeg! ..... and, at last, the opening of the sand roads.

Love your humour ... although not too sure the real Minkie would be happy with you.

Waiting for some more TR.

I seriously doubt a baboon connection from your previous life!
So glad for some sun! Although it was short lived :shock:

Those young bobbies are too cute

They look very much like mini humans!!

Another Amazing episode by Cheetah the Magnificent :clap:

Really enjoyed the pics of the Bobbajanties :clap:

Cant wait for more :popcorn:

Thanks for keeping up Kallis :thumbs_up:

A great start to the day!! :dance:

Baby baboons are always cute, just a pity they grow up to become Eloff street hitch hikers :roll:

Jaaa you were right :dance:

When you become Miss Daisy and need a driver, I can always take you

And hopefully show you some leopards! But you have a knack of finding magnificent leopards already

I cannot forget your Kannidood spotty! :clap:

My ouma is far from a stiffneck! A cold neck mostly :lol:

Thanks for offering, young chap, but by the time I am Ouma Daisy - you'll be a Oupa yourself! :slap:

Then I will need a young lad with sparkling eyes to drive me around... :big_eyes:

Who knows... maybe a stiffneck beanie and a stiffneck scarf around Ouma's cold neck will get her to start looking in the trees for birdies... :hmz:

Aggenee

I will NOT be an oupa when you are an ouma :lol:

I will just be a pa :lol:

Like your suggestion about the stiffnecks scarf! She will join you in the Afrikaans name birding clud! I am from now on posting the Afrikaans names for birds instead :lol:

Good morning Cheetah,
I didn't realize I missed so many episodes since my lat visit

- very entertaining TR as usual and you were really lucky with all the beautiful sightings, including the flowers :dance:

I am glad your granny could see her Leopard :gflower:

Enjoy your time with the Brownies in the North of KNP this week

Hello 'Mites!!!

Sorry I have taken so long to type my next episode, but I had to pop in to Kruger for some days

Now if I am ever going to get to that trip report, I must get on with this one!! So stay tuned as I plan on bringing some scenes to you from Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Day 4 Afternoon Part 1

For the afternoon drive, my ouma decided she would rest her back and stay home. I did not feel too sorry for her staying behind, as I knew she would tuck in to some old Brown Sherry and watch Noot vir Noot and 7de Laan .

I went and bought that bottle for ouma to slurp up whilst enjoying boeremusiek with Johan Stemmet and the folks from 7de Laan. There were jokes flying around the car about why I only show my ouma lazy horses and don't love my parents enough to do the same for them

This was my attempt of a dragonfly before we left!

So it was me driving my parents on the Lazy Horse tour from Paul Kruger to Phabeni! As we were looking for spots, this Bruinslangarend was also scoping out the horizons over the rainbow!

The blommetjies were still looking soooo pretty! I shmaak them!

Then as we reach the S1 intersection, I decide to roll up to the bridge to see if anything is camping out there. After giving a good look, I turn around when the jackpot strolls out from under the drainage pipe! My dad snapped some pictures because I was driving!

They were a honeymoon couple and did not appreciate being disturbed!! What a sighting!!!!!

It was all over so quickly! Right place … right time!

What a glorious leopard parade, cheetah :mrgreen:
