That was a scary day for both of us RP and we had also never felt heat like that before. I was at Lower Sabie at that time and it was reading 48 degrees at reception. It’s the first time I have ever seen Lower Sabie deck empty :shock: The berg wind felt like an oven door opening while standing in front of it O-/

Heat stroke :-?

Right!

The next morning dawned early with me still feeling sulky and poorish and in a bad mood, but basically better! ^0^

The youngsters were having a great time...and went off up to Letaba and Heaven knows where for the day... :O^ 0-

They saw BC's wild dog from the previous night at the fence on the way out! \O

Dwarf and I were only too happy to have a restful day in camp! :yes:

We toddled off to the hide after packing feeble refreshments... lol

The weather had turned cloudy and cool...this often happens after a heatwave! Mercy! O/\ O\/ ^Q^

Some more tourists who had not made it through the heat... :no:

Our view for the next 12 hours! :twisted:





Image




And the animals rolled in! :yes:




Image




The elephant were inveterate bullies as always! 0*\ But they would get their comeuppance later! ;-)



Image




The old buffs weren't particularly impressed... O**






Image




Mostly the younger teenage ellies were intimidating the others... :O^



Image




But as said, not that brave! :twisted:




Image





There was a beautiful foreign lady that shared the hide with us...she did not believe in upper underwear, an approach I fully support, to excuse the pun! --00--





Image




I remember this morning very fondly...it was truly beautiful. :ty:

Do you remember the morning fondly or the scantily clad foreigner? O**

She obviously didn't stay too long as she realized there's a boon inside camp ^0^

We stayed at Talamati during summer and found almost no animals at the water hole.

Assume one must visit during winter months -O-
All times are UTC+02:00
