Thank you all for following \O

We carried on with the tar road and saw this nyala cross the road

Image

We arrived at Olifantsbadpan but it was dry and no animals around. We then decided to drive further up and then turn back onto the S144 to see if any of those waterholes have any water.

Only when we turned we noticed the clouds building up

This area very dry

Image

Image

It started getting darker as we carried on

Image

Image

Image

Saw this tree and it just captured my imagination

Image

Image

At a point we thought it's night time already

Image

But no rain. :-(

We arrived back at camp with the wind blowing strong. Decided not to braai as it could be dangerous. It's sad because we always braai on our last night in Kruger :-(

Next episode.... our way out to Phalaborwa gate.

Stately nyala! O:V

Those clouds make for some mystic atmosphere :-0 Shame about the lack of rain though. It does look very dry indeed. :no:
