During our recent, 21-28 May 2016 visit to a favourite destination of ours, The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park we saw lions every day for eight days! What an experience for us!
We started off at Grootkolk, moved down to Nossob and finally moved down to Kieliekrankie (my husband's favourite camp). He rejuvenates his body and soul at this tranquil camp!
On Monday, 23 May 2016 very close to Grootkolk, we encountered a male lion and two lionesses. Only a few vehicles at the sighting, we spend treasured moments with the three cats. My husband took some pictures with his mobile phone and when we show people the photos, they are in awe. At one stage I took up my window of our vehicle because the one lioness was so close that I became scared . . . WOW!
The male was IMPRESSIVE! I photographed him and subsequently made a photobook of our trip to remember our awesome experiences during our visit. A while ago I met a lady who saw my photobook and asked me where did I buy the book. I felt so good about her comment.
My favorite picture of the mentioned male lion is attached here. I wish to share it with all keen Kgalagadi visitors and I wish you similar encounters with these magnificent cats. A colleague of mine states the following:
"If you see these cats in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, you must SALUTE them. How they survive in these arid conditions is a total mystery!"
My camera was always ready! Action awaits around every corner!
We are once again visiting The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park during October 2016 (8-16 October). The countdown has begun . . . Only a couple of days are remaining to once again experience a dream coming true!
