Hi Bob - love the photos of Simons Town where we're heading in February - I think our rental house is in one of the shots!

Bob,

Thanks for your photos. It was nice to see all the great scenery from your driving trip.

Just made it through the safari photos. Especially enjoyed the leopard calling for the cubs and the birds on the giraffe. You also have some good ele photos.

Now you just have to get ready to leave for Bangkok. Have a great time!

I see that Bob has had a bit iof a problem labeling some of the animals. He said a leopard was a lion, missed the hippos,and called a buffalo something else. Guess I will have to get the picture book out for him...

Karen, It was all part of the charm of the photos! The first leopard is labeled a "tiger," but then he switched to leopard. I think the picture book is a grand idea.

Thanks for the photos. The side striped jackals are actually antelope. I'm thinking young waterbuck.

Your report is very helpful, but I'm not too sure about that Gpanda character that you brought along over here.

Yeah, I was worried about animal captions when his trip report referred to "deer-like creatures" and to the tracker as a "scout." Would that be a cub scout or the older kind? And getting out of the car in Kruger? Oy!

Wow! They really do exist! Incredible leopard shots. I am yet to see a leopard in the wild. Well, there's always next time (sigh).

The safari gods have a sense of humor, apparently.
