The sheer scale of the night sky at Shingwedzi is overwhelming, no way to capture it in one image sadly…
Thanks for popping in, Cardinal Guzman!

I’m glad that I did. I live in the city and we barely see the stars because of the light pollution. I miss the stars.

Did you have a good time? We had fantastic sightings – including 5 cheetahs right in the road Saturday afternoon on the S50 😀

We also saw 5 cheetah Saturday on the S50! We watched them for a long time at a turnoff. They mostly slept and eventually got up and went down to get a drink then disappeared into the brush and we lost them. Darn I bet we just missed them crossing!
Shingwedzi was our 3rd night. We stayed Punda Maria, Sirheni, Shingwedzi, then Bateleur. First time in the north but definitely not our last! Excited to see your cheetah photos. Ours were too far away and my zoom only goes to 300 (I almost rented a 500 this trip {sigh}).

We must have passed one another on the road somewhere without even knowing! If you found yourself looking at a very dusty, usually silver, Honda Jazz – that was us inside 😉
I’m glad you had such a nice time in the North of Kruger Marla. Will we be reading about your trip on Traveling Marla soon? I hope so! And don’t worry about those cheetah pics, it’s a useful excuse to get back to Kruger a.s.a.p.
