Sorry to hear you started off the trip not feeling well! I remember that time when we first met at Uri and the SO & I came from the Nossob side, me having slept most of the way in the back of the car Hope you didn't add food poisoning at Twee restaurant... But hearing that the food was inedible, I'm glad that we made the decision not to go there on our last trip. Had planned to but at the end we felt more comfortable with a braai.

Nice photos! Especially of the hard to get by hoopoe

oh yes I remember that meet. No it was not the TR restaurant... only chipps were almost good...
but like you I really prefere a braai... easy to do... and Kgalagadi way
thank you

This morning departure for the Auob dry river bed, my favorite. The first Antelope, an Oryx with deformed horns.

And then, a Cheetah, which I will later identify as Fancy (thanks to Mel's ideas ), a male that the Oryx watch
A Kudu made an appearance at the top of the rocks, a Martial Eagle, Northern Black Korhaan and the first of a long series of Meerkats
