Groundhog Day: Pretoriuskop Over and Over Winters 2018-22

[ExFmem]

Those francolins are . You know my fav will be the spider though.

[Richprins]

Off on the last drive of the season!



RIGHT outside the gate this beaut!

At the nearby water tanks for the camp, this slender mongoose silhouetted:

Then I decided to go around Shabeni for a change!

[Richprins]

It really is spectacular, especially in the setting light...

It is normally deserted, this narrow winding road, but suddenly....

Hellooooo!

[Richprins]

Closeup!

And bye-bye...

The rest of the drive was uneventful, just a sunset shot at one of the Faai crossings.

And next morning home with my Mommy!


END OF 2022 SEASON

[Lisbeth]

All those little roads around Pretoriuskop are nice but not very busy with animals. Maybe because of all the koppies close to the roads, so nowhere to escape

The nyalas are such pretty antelopes.

Nice to see a slender mongoose, they are not very common.

Dagga boy

Staying at Pretoriuskop it is impossible not to go round Shabeni

was this 2022 or 23?

Whatever... until next year

[Richprins]

It was a bushbuck, Lis!

Ja, not many aminals but sometimes rare things, one can see anything there but rhino.

2022 season, so have some catching up to do...

[Lisbeth]

It was a bushbuck, Lis!

That doesn't change the fact that the nyala is a pretty antelope

[Pumbaa]

Love the buffalo on that road, Richprins

and the Shabeni

[ExFmem]

The buffs look like such gangstas Scary. Goodbye 2022 - bring on 2023.
