TOMO 24,876 Posted March 21, 2023 Report Share Posted March 21, 2023 I've been south Africa..went to the krugar for 3 nights...great experience..seeing everything up close and personal...we sore a cheetah start to hunt some impala...but gave up after a few hundred yards they were to weary of him... There was a drain just outside our camp that had a mother hyena and cubs/pups that we would see all the time 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

We we’re expecting a chase but lions moved in and they scattered . Got chatting to a Saudi bloke recently he was telling me about his cheetahs that he chases bagged gazelle with, invited me out next time I'm over but that whole canned hunt thing isn't really for me TBH. He did have some cracking drone footage of the runs though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Which is a lot more than can be said for most on here, including myself. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Boy how I’d love to see you ,arse on the floor with a REAL large cat a metre behind snapping at your Harris .I’d actually pay to see that . But first you have to pluck up courage to go there mind ……lol. Picture it Paul ,lions roaring ,leopards grunting and cheetahs wickering . Actual big cats so you can come back ,refreshed and reevaluate what you’ve written in the past ……lol. As cheetahs are the smallest of the African big cats anyone seeing them for the first time would be amazed at how tall they actually are ,how stocky leopards are and how long lions are . Make a pilgrimage mate ,you won’t be disappointed ,. I could even put you up in our condo beneath kilamanjaro Link to post Share on other sites
