Re: Kruger (and other) game sightings (pic heavy)
These are photos from our August 2016 trip (three nights in Satara).
Playing hide and seek
One tough customer
We saw leopard 5 times (one was too fast to snap):
This guy was on the hunt
Posing like a mofo
Sleeping in a tree
We were last to arrive and she walked past right in front of our car
Some lions we saw
She was on her last legs
Yaaaaaaaawn
Groupies
Only one (possibly a second) of these in Kruger
Those eyes bore into your soul
Kudu genetics in Kruger is fantastic:
He was so rough some of those bushes got stuck
Just check those horns standing out un the background
Special one for Toxxyc

maybe my last hunting trip was too fresh in my mind. but all i could see was shot placement and horns on the antelope.

Re: Kruger (and other) game sightings (pic heavy)
You want pic heavy? I can give you pic heavy :-)
["You have included a total of 37 images in your message. The maximum number that you may include is 30. Please correct the problem and then continue again"]. Hmmm. Thwarted by the machine. OK, slightly less pic heavy then.
December 2015:
This fellow was somewhat far away.
This one was closer.
We were the first to spot this one.
Then 2016:
Idiot.

Re: Kruger (and other) game sightings (pic heavy)
More on my blog, of course :)
Edit to add: some of these were with my Panasonic FZ-20, others are the wife's, with her Canon EOS-1100 and the kit lenses (including the crappy 300mm zoom). But her birthday rolled around and she now has a Sigma 600mm. And of course she wants to go to the Kruger again.
