Groundhog Day: Pretoriuskop Over and Over Winters 2018-23

[Richprins]

There was one aminal though!

The cloud formations were crazy...unheard of for this time of year, with crystal winter light!

Momprins wasn't so intent on feeding this one...

[Richprins]

More clouds!

Our next waterhole was Kwaggaspan! With animals! At last I was going to see animals ing drinking!!!

But it was a ruse - not one impala touched a drop...


So more clouds.

Momprins was writing notes about dam level, cellphone reception etc. More clouds.

I was almost in tears, but there was one thing at the water itself. This martial didn't move a feather for half an hour, and eventually we wondered if it was stuck? But it wasn't.

Lots of clouds

[Flutterby]

Every cloud has a silver lining! They are quite pretty!

[Pumbaa]

Love the cloud formations in Kruger, Richprins,

especially with a blue sky - This is also always Kruger for me

[Richprins]

AT LAST something appeared looking thirsty!

The game gloser and gloser!

They don't care about weather - drinking is drinking!

Small family group1

We had now been here for quite a while with little further reward, so continued our mission!


Game Over for this one...

[Richprins]

Spot the animal at the Mbyamiti Bridge!

Still plenty of clouds!

We stopped at Afsaal for a possible lunch, but it was busy as always, and slightly early for hunger, so we embarked on what we thought would only be an hour or so back to camp on the H2-2...might as well make lunch there!



Lo and behold, there was water in the Voortrekker Windmill reservoir!

Anyway, elephant drinking didn't mean much. We took the little loop to the trough nonetheless. A warthog next to a rubbing post. (A trees tump used by all sorts of herbivores to rub against.)

[Lisbeth]

Nice ellies and scenery...with clouds

[Richprins]

Lots more clouds to come!

[Flutterby]

Spot the animal at the Mbyamiti Bridge!
