Looks like we had famous people in camp.

We drove out on the S114 and found the leopard in the tree that Tanya’s been looking for.

Some people get very excited…

These guys were just fooling around a bit.

We headed back to camp late the afternoon, as you can see the shadows are getting long.

Philip and I are both geeks, and we were discussing Venn diagrams on the walkie-talkies when Tanya goes “There’s a FSCKING LEOPARD NEXT TO THE ROAD!”

And so there was.

We ended up being ten minutes late at Berg-en-Dal gate, but the gate was still open and nobody gave us grief. If I’d known that we would have spent more time with the leopard.

 

Krismis Kruger Day 15

Went out early, drove up to Afsaal to check (again) if the hyena had not come back. No joy.

But we did spot the morning drive vehicle parked in one spot for too long. So we went to investigate.

One, maybe two lions, quite far off in the bushes. We were not there long before they left, direction Afsaal.

Saw a large herd of buffalo on our way back to camp, this one had a nasty gash on the back.

Packed up the camp, found two scorpions under Philip’s tent. Big pinchers mean (relatively) harmless, right?

Right.
