What a great morning WS - well worth the wait, to see the dwarf mongoose was lovely, and to see Karula and the cubs is really special.

Thanks so much for sharing.

The sharing's my pleasure Lai, it was such a thrill to see them at last. I've edited the post, and there are some extra pics in the middle of the post, plus information on the cubs.

**Laikipia** Tue Apr 12, 2011 3:17 pm

thanks WS, just looked back and caught up with the info and pics.

Definitely a good safari day and it will be lovely to keep tabs on the two cubs as they grow. I wonder what names the 'spotter' will choose?

What a treat that is this evening WS. They are gorgeous, the little fellow has a look of Mixo about him. It's going to be wonderful seeing these two grow up, the next generation Very Happy

Thanks so much for posting them.

Great hippo photos WS - glad you managed to catch them today.

I think the Francolin looks like a Coqui Francolin - scratch

and the kudus are lovely, one of my favourites with their amazing horns and beautiful markings.

Thanks for the great photos.

The feathers are Electric Blue

This is a small Deer that I think the presenter called a Daker, but I'm not sure

**Laikipia** Tue Apr 19, 2011 8:25 am

That's the problem with those hippos WS - difficult to catch, but a great shot of the mother.

The antelope is a Duiker, and the Kingfisher I think is a Brown-Hooded Kingfisher, but I am not 100% sure. I'm not so up on SA birds.

Lai

**littlewid** Tue Apr 19, 2011 7:46 pm

You have got some really lovely pictures there from the last few days WS. I love the Kingfisher, such a beautiful colour and hippos playing in water is just so wonderful to see Very Happy

The Male looked really close to the Tracker on the other vehicle

**Laikipia** Wed Apr 20, 2011 9:13 am

I love the way the lion lying down is completely unphased by the vehicle and has no intention of moving. Great to see them not being stressed by humans!

One poor buff had a broken horn, that must have been quite some fight.

Great photos, thanks WS.

Lai

**littlewid** Wed Apr 20, 2011 8:09 pm

Love the Lion pics WS but the third photo down of the Buffs face is simply gorgeous I love you

Great photos and it looks like you had a good game drive today WS, with lots of variety. Well done for getting a question answered re the giraffes. I've not seen a Southern giraffe before having never been on safari in SA so lovely to see a new species.
