Departure day and the park threw some lovelies at us.
Wild Cat NOT in a tree
Plonking young springbuck enjoying the cool of morning
At Dalkeith we were greeted by this small pride
The one in the middle, a youngster, was full of mischief. Stalking to see whose rump he can bite
Ok, so not a rump ... A shoulder
The face of the bitten
Eventually, someone, in desperation, agreed to play
Next stop 14th where Mum cheetah has "captured" a young springbuck for her cubs to play with. This broke our hearts and we did not stay long but it is necessary for the youngsters to hone their hunting skills. Their survival will depend on it.
Very dry from that point on. Just before departure, this Giant (Verreaux) Eagle Owl hooted goodbye
Overnight stop at Red Sands, just outside Kuruman.
All good things come to an end. Until next time .....
