but first there is this one

I go home early, as usual, and, surprise

"toc-toc-toc", Anne-Marie, it's me Elena, I would like to present you my little ones: Ekon, Eilen and Erela"
Ho! at the back door, What a privilege. Thank you Elena

She walks two tents away, pretended to go down to the waterhole and retraces his steps, clearly disturbed and climb the dunes behind the tents, his 3 little in its wake.

The occupant of the tent next to mine, opens the gate ... "I want to see" I think they do not realize
You can't open now, they are four, it's too dangerous
As soon as they reached the top of the dunes, I rush in the car and went to the other side of the dune and follow them on the edge, untill to the bed of the river.
Two Jackals attached to their tails, it is easy to spot them. They will stay overnight under a tree, but unfortunately inaccessible. The next day, the Jackals are still present and we seek, Edward (the guardian of the camp) and I, without really distinguishing them. A male Springbok also knows that the whole family is there. He is on his guard and eventually turn around.

maybe 2 males


Steenbok...

what a magnificent end of this exceptional day

Raptor's day
and a glance at the sick PCG

Tonight I am invited to eat. Martie, the newlyweds and "Click Click" prepared a braai and a salad with avocado. Oh! it was succulent
Another big thank you, it reminded me of good memories, Kruger, the caravan, oven made of cardboard and aluminum foil and the wonderful roast for this year when I was for three months in the parks, it was a true "geuleton!"
