as for those cubs, they break all cuteness barriers.

Fanatastic sequence of the roller 'playing' with the food. Makes you wonder if it is actually going to eat it

Cheetah mum with cubs. You managed some wonderful under very trying circumstances (hate getting blocked in at sightings).
Wonder when you saw them, was it this year? We saw a cheetah mum with 2 cubs not far from Satara when we were in Kruger just now.

WoW Jan,

you managed to get some incredible shots from all the cheetahs in the high grass

[Tessa G]

Great Roller shots Jan. It looks like it could be a very sharp swallow.
I never tire of photographing them.

[Mischief]

Jan ,your roller such a nice capture. The cheetah and cubs gave me goosebumps.

[Jan van Wyk]

Thank you for all the comments..........

One afternoon after our drive when we arrived at the gate ..... lots of cars were following a Lioness on the tar road walking north........

.we had the perfect spot at the gate entrance walking toward us to captured the moment .......











....though she was going to turn left into the camp .......

....for me, the next shot was very interesting walking past the sign board .....will remember the moment for ever .....



..many cars pass us following the Lioness passing the camp entrance ...........

She is obviously heading north

Lucky you got the headshots, not the bum shots like all those cars following her.
Great photos

Great lion shots, Jan,

Luckily they often do hang around camp either in the morning or in the evening or when you are lucky - Always great when seeing them so close to camp
