Black-maned Kalahari lion

by Martin
(johannesburg)


This lion caught a wildebeest just a few kilometers from Mata Mata during the night. In the morning we found him and the carcass. He didn't like all the attention from the cars so he got up and went and sat under the tree where he roared for a few minutes.

I just read on the SANParks forum that a chap from Canada will be visiting the Kgalagadi this year and he is spending all 10 nights at Twee Rivieren - that would be painful for Jenny and I!
Busy roads, busy camp and no waterhole to view from the camp.
As you said, at Urikaruus, Polentswa, plus Gharagab, Grootkolk, and Kielie Krankie you have the roads to yourself for the first and last few hours of each day and the option to stay in camp and watch the animals drinking.

"It's 768 pages of the most amazing information. It consists of, well, everything really. Photography info...area info...hidden roads..special places....what they have seen almost road by road. Where to stay just outside the Park...camp information. It takes quite a lot to impress me but I really feel that this book, which was 7 years in the making, is exceptional."            - Janey Coetzee, founder of CAROK (Camps and Roads of Kruger)  South Africa
