Wow, what a week I had…first of all I fetched my mother in law from the airport at Nelspruit on Monday…had a long drive as the new bridge at Crocodile Bridge gate washed away and the old bridge was under water…so, I had to go from LSabie to Skukuza and the tar road to Numbi Gate… driving at speed limit… the only sighting I stopped for was this lion climbing a log..there was another young one behind..and they were playing in the bush..but not good enough to take a pic… but still a sighting of a lion…
I also found this Leopard with a cub closer to LSabie camp… first time I have seen a leopard cub so close up and the next day I only got a glimpse of the cub, but the mother gave me such a great pic…
Sightings with MIL was very slow for the first 2 days and then our fortunes changed during the week and I really wanted to show my Mother in Law the awesome Leopard sightings and close up lions Ive had… and then this Leopard (the mother of the cub) in a tree not too far off the road… I took many pics, but for the first time since I have been coming to Kruger…I saw a leopard jump through the air to another tree… really amazing… and glad I can show you…
She climbed down the tree and disappeared from view… then we had these close up sighting of the lions… (I still think ppl coming to Kruger only want to see lions… but there is just so much more to see)
and just next to her another 2 females…
Just so nice to see these healthy lions in the South of Kruger!
We also had more leopard sightings and I think, this one of the best I’ve had in Kruger… a young female walking right next to us…
This young leopard was walking in the road and marked her territory right next to us….
and so amazing to have a Leopard so close to you… this pic of it right next to the car…
Staying at LSabie you have the privilege of being so close to sunset dam… not even a km from camp and it can give you the most amazing sightings of birds and sunsets…
First up this Yellow Billed Stork right next to the road…
and off course the most amazing sunsets in Kruger…
With that another amazing week in Kruger…and once again..I look forward to bringing you this week in Kruger next week.
Regards
Martie
