To answer an earlier question...the two Cheetahs were both males and likely brothers...they seemed to be young adult cheetahs and were spotted no more than 5 kilometers from the camp.
Due to an early flight (10:30AM) to Lebala tomorrow, I have decided to skip my final drive tomorrow so that I do not impact the other guests and so I may pack in the morning and enjoy a final leisurely morning in the friendly and luxurious confines of Chiefs Camp.
This has been a fantastic stop and it is currently 10PM with light rain, thunder and lighting here in Moremi/Mombo Concession.
I have some amazing photos but don't dare try to upload them on this slow connection.
Looking forward to six nights worth of Kwando and to Sabi Sabi, Mateya and Sydney at the Observatory.
Cheers for now.

I think you're lucky to see African Wild Cat - what time of day was that, roughly? But the dogs too!
Any clues as to where the managers from 3 years ago are now? Madeline and Roy, two of the nicest managers in Africa. I believe they are South African (and so those managers must move on at least every 3 years in Bots).

That's reminded me. How on earth could I have forgotten it? I've seen wild cat on night game drives a couple of times. But in daylight, on a walking safari in Zimbabwe? The cat was poised behind a clump of grass, waiting to pounce on a real or imagined prey. We stood and watched it for only a few seconds until it detected us and disappeared. It was only 20-30 metres away.
Just checked my journal- it was on an afternoon walk near Masumu Pan in Hwange NP.
