Uhm, Lis, that is Gavin and Debbie's private solar panel.

There are four of them next to the staff cabin

That is true as well

I did notice the cable and knew that it must be Gavin's own panel

It is my cable. We have a solar panel which charges the fridge freezer in our trailer

I was talking about the ones behind the staff cabin

Thanks everyone, it's great to have you on board. It's been too long

Sunday 29 September 2019:

We had heard that there had been a pride of lions on a kill at Morevet, on the Upper Dune road the previous day, but we decided that we would rather not chase other people’s sightings which may, or may not still be there and rather decided to go north up to the loops.

It was a mistake.

The road was really badly corrugated and all the animals had obviously decided that the dunes were far more attractive than the riverbeds.


We did see this eland as we bounced along the way. I mentioned to Debs that they are obviously the new springbok!


We got as far as Dalkieth before turning around to trace our steps

A Pale Chanting Goshawk relieved the monotony on the way back to Urikaruus




We decided to pop into camp for a comfort break and to have a short break from the car, and while we were busy sorting our lives out, I noticed this chap at the waterhole.

After quenching his thirst, he proceeded to walk towards the camp and park off under a bush.



My morning was made


But it wasn't over just yet

Cool sighting

You should’ve stayed in camp the whole morning
