Strange, but I have never heard about the Sheppard of Nossob :-?

Lisbeth, that old wooden stump has been there for a long time. It's about a kilometer before the Nossob camp in the middle of the riverbed, and looks just like a man standing there



We returned to Nossob, and headed straight out of the north gate after a quick pit stop.
It was 7.30 when we came across these male kudu just before Cubitjie Quap

Carrying on, as we were approaching the Kwang waterhole (25km north of Nossob), Debbie spotted some movement off to the left

The lion was walking towards us and towards the waterhole

At the waterhole he spent a bit of time posing there, as only a male lion can

After drinking, he turned around and was soon out of sight in the dunes

Wow! What an impressive, handsome male!

Isn't there something strange about the left-hand side of his mouth :-?
