Woke early, have a look at the water, wow there are 2 Brown Hyenas ... damn
there is not enough light, impossible to take pictures. I never leave my camera all night "ready". I put it away when I go to bed. The weather in the desert, semi arid in this case, changes very quickly and I certainly will not have time to "repatriate" it dry.
And then holding the flashlight and taking photos with only two hands is almost impossible I watch them go

Re: Two "nanas" (girls) in the Kgalagadi
Departure around 9:30, we have a long way to Kieliekrankie. But everything is calm and we have time. We still find a single-horned Oryx, they are warlike these antelopes, rivalry at water points and fight to conquer females. But I've seen females unicorn, so also feminine jealousy …

A beautiful Black-chested Snake-Eagle, a road kill, one more, a Kalahari (Karoo) Sand Snake / Psammophis Trinisalis (notostictus) who did not resist the tires of a car too fast ... or inattentive ... a Pale chanting Goshawk stretching + Fiscal Shrike and these golden herbs that frizz with the humidity.

A Lion sleeps deeply in Kij Kij, he is so badly placed and too close to have a good picture, well a Lion who sleeps it is not very interesting and next to the car either
It's my friend Willem who welcomes us and invites us to join the cabin no 3 (which has become No. 4 since this one of the guards is empty ... and still without a tenant ). He gives us an help of carrying all the heavy, must say that KK access is not easy, it climbs. Thank you
A nice series of new birds welcomes us, for our greatest joy.

Re: Two "nanas" (girls) in the Kgalagadi
How many nights did you stay in Kielie?
The new units at Nossob remind me of those riverfront chalets at Mata - only with nicer tables
And you did get the first unit, closest to the waterhole I just wonder what the point is
for those at the other end... Sure the riverbed is busy generally but animals are only passing through.
Curious to see when Nossob will bow to the complaints of visitors and erect another waterhole down
at the end of the row of the units like they did in Mata. And honestly - at almost ZAR 3000.00 for a
4 bed riverfront chalet I could understand the complaints
Lovely sightings again - minus that roadkill that is

God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Re: Two "nanas" (girls) in the Kgalagadi
Time to put all our devices under tension, they will be ready for tomorrow morning, to choose what we will bring to our friends .. I rented a cottage with 2 bedrooms, it will be good, after promiscuity of Grootkolk, each its space
Sounds like an exhausting sexual business there!
Very nice accommodation, nana, but no aircon?
Really something wrong with all the unicorns.
Nice waterhole, close by!
Chops and potatoes.
Are there no pics of the other nana?

Looks like very nice accommodation.
And again, lots of nice birds.
