If anyone is interested, here is my trip report from South Africa last year. We had a rubbish guide, but despit that we still saw quite a few lifers including a veery brief glimpse of a Riverine Rabbit, aardwolf, amazing aardvark sightings, Black-footed Cat, meerkats, Springhare, Smith’s red rock rabbit, round eared sengi, Gemsbok, plus the kgalagadi produced lions, leopards and cheetahs

Great trip report!!
Too bad that you had such a bad guide, but it seems that you did well anyway, and great pictures!
I need to make it back out there and try for Caracal, which seems to not be as easy to find in the cape as it once was? Maybe I’m wrong though 🙂
Cheers!

Thanks Jo – some fabulous pictures there. Do you have a list of all the species you saw (preferably with a location attached). I find the Safaritalk forum quite hard to refer to as it is split over so many pages so takes quite a bit of time to navigate through. It would be great to include here a list of what you saw and where, which people like me can then use to cross reference with the full post, cheers
Hi not as such but I do have this Google doc which is just the narrative without pictures:
