This Week in Photographs #3

This week has been another great week of sightings here at GVI Karongwe.  Amazingly for the second week in a row the volunteers have seen one of the rarest creatures in the bush...a pangolin!  This week the volunteers also saw the cheetah brothers relaxing and our female cheetah, Ketswiri, make an impala kill.  A week of rare sightings was capped off with a sighting of a caracal (unfortunately no pics....too mesmerized by this amazing cat!) and an african wildcat!  

Thanks again to all volunteers and staff for your wonderful photographs!  Looking forward to another amazing week here at GVI Karongwe!  Remember to follow us on twitter for daily updates @GVIlimpopokzn!!

Its not always about the big cats!  Here Tess captured a wonderful jumping spider!
