Aired the idea of a Marakele sightings topic elsewhere and got one vote for and zero against, so here goes, lets see if it works.
Hoping to get people to post their sighting of uncommon animals and/or behavior with date and location, pictures or not.
On the mammal side I was thinking reports of the Marakele Elephants, the rarely seen Lions (if still around), the newly introduced Cheetahs and of course Leopards.
Also sightings of some of the not so common antelopes like Sable, Roan, Gemsbok etc. that should all be present at Marakele would be great. Besides that any of the smaller cats, others of the elusive mammals mainly active at night and anything else you would want to brag about.
But fell free to post any sighting from your Marakele visits
With Rhinos being seen on most game-drives at Marekeles non-big 5 part, and to avoid any controversy of keeping track of their whereabouts, an according forum policy, do not report exact locations, although I don't think a photo of them at the Bontle
As for birds, I am sure all you birders know what is worth reporting to others and what’s not.
To keep it relatively resent I put 2012 in the subject. If all goes well a 2013 topic will follow when time comes.
Let the games begin
