It was on the H10 not too far from Mlondozi. As far as I could gather from all the posts here, there is probably a resident serval in that area and he is not shy either.

So I am watching this trying to figure out the serval's hunting strategy. Since the snake is "cold-blooded" does that mean that it can't continue strenuous activity for long periods? So the serval just tires it out until it can safely bite it?

Guess we will have to try to get back to Kruger this year. Wish I was better at sleeping on planes.
