16 June, and the animals take a public holiday as we leave the park
Our plan for our last morning in the park was to sneak in a morning drive till about 9am, go back to Rooiputs and to take down the camp, and then to head off out the park.
We were overnighting in Keimos on the way back to Cape Town, so we only had about a three and a half hour drive, once out the park.
We left camp just before 8 am and set off north, to Kij Kij and back
Well, all the animals were definitely sleeping in on this Youth Day public holiday
We saw zip.
Well you can’t really say we saw nothing.
We did have this special sighting of a secretary bird on it’s nest. Yes it was slowly waking up, and after a bit flew off never to be seen again.
This juvenile bateleur eagle looked a bit irritated at having being woken up
And this black backed jackal couple were more interested in themselves than anything else.
We got back to camp at about 10am, and were at the Twee Rivieren gate, checked out and ready to return to the real world just before one o clock
Our last sighting was of this police vehicle being flat bedded out of the park, proving once again that the Kgalagadi is not an easy place to be in
So till our next trip in December/ January, that’s it for now
