This year we had not spent nearly as much time at Nossob as in previous years due mainly to the fact that we didn’t want to be camping in the middle of a construction site.
That being said, whilst Nossob was really busy during the day, we found that besides we didn’t have access to our favourite campsite, our Nossob experience was ok.
As I really love Nossob,it is always hard to leave. However with all our stuff packed and a note written for our neighbours thanking them for their hospitality we set off to Mata Mata.
New friends were waiting there to make us green over all their sightings.
I know we are SO BORING by now, but here is the regulatory morning sunrise pic
Which was totally eclipsed by this Kori in stunning light
Marie’s delivers once again
As the speedsters sent it towards Kaspersdraai once again, we meandered quietly around Marie’s, as one does on your last day in the area.
The Jap was packed to the hilt as is normal when moving camps, so we had limited access to move around in the bakkie to take pictures
Not a problem really, as traditionally we had seen very little on our transit days between camps in the past
Today Marie’s had other ideas
HRH, The Prince and his mother were back, and stalking a Gemsbok down near the waterhole
A lot of photos, but how special is this sighting?
Look at his claw marks in the sand AWESOME
Because we had a full bakkie and I was on the side where all the action was, I got to take a few pics
My pics
And so we waited to see what would transpire
Anti-climax of note.
The Gemsbok smelt a rat, and ducked
So our lions, nonchalantly went for a drink as is nothing had happened
And eventually came back up to the road, before disappearing over the dune
We needed to as well as Mata Mata was calling
