2 Caracal stationary
"Today was a special day! While we were taking pictures of a Gabar Goshawk close to the TR gate, I heard a scream in the car. I stopped and reversed, and saw a caracal, but the cat was too fast for a pic. While driving back, from Kamqua, I started driving very very very slow. Under the shade of a little boompie, I saw this second caracal. Thanks, Kgalagadi again for your Magic!"
