Lovely photos and report. I would guess 6 leopards and a side striped jackal. Hope this will cost u money!

Regarding the guessing competition, did I pick up a cold-blooded hint?

In which case I guess rock python or cobra

OK -- I guessed 3 leopard & caracal & warthog
Will give some thought to the 3rd guess ....

0 Leopards
2 african wild cats.

My guess on the leopards must be 4 (April is the 4th month and today is 22 which gives you another 4)

The animal you spotted was a warthog. Not unusual for KNP but defnitely for KTP.

Can't wait to see those 4 leopards now.

Eish I almost missed this one LQ but i am here.

As for your sightings I will say 7 Leppies and the other one a Bagger????

I was thinking spotted hyaena, but they seem to be regularly seen, maybe your special animal is a rock python, a large one??????? And I'll say 2 leopards.

R100 for Aardwolf and R100 for Caracal

Next up was the caracal. It was a very good sighting, quite close to the road but could not get a good photo. He was patrolling his territory. That was awesome.





Then we came across the aardwolf on the road in front but he too ran off into the grass as we came closer. Though we had a good look at him, we were unable to get any good shots.

R100 each for Caracal, Cheetah and Blue Crane

@ Duke -- for your next trip I'll gladly give R500 for an aardwolf!
