The Cheetahs with the crocodile!! It made the trip. National Geographic class. Superb! Went to shingwedzi many times, just one cheetah. My best leopards, lions, and elephants come from there. It's my favorite camp.

Lucky you .. Went for a week around the S56 , and game yes .. Cats only one Leopard for 20 secs on returning trip around the high road before the H1-6 crossing heading Letaba , by the H14 to Phalaborwa was also a beautiful area .Better on game that the one going to Letaba . Also the Shinwedse S50 was quite silent. on cats . I miss the howling of the hyenas and Jackals at night which before i heard in KTP ..but now all of these fantastic sounds after the COVID time KTP Park closure have disappeared ….i wander why .
