Re: Flavour of the month May 2015 - Bitterpan

This sign was seen at all the waterholes around Bitterpan three years running. One explanation was that SanParks needed money and the second was that they were trying to get the animals going on their natural migration routes! Well, we saw several very sad gemsbok standing around, probably thinking that they have a long way to go, and didn't really care about their migration routes :shock:

Yeah right... and all the other waterholes are probably smack in the middle of their natural migration routes... Don't think so 0-
The money explanation sounds way more credible... Obviously a problem with many waterholes... :O^

That was part of the Nossob Trail, right?

I was just asking, because without a booking there you aren't allowed to visit the camp. O**
