Africa Wild

One takes a long pointless road back up to Mooiplaas called the S49.

(We saw about one other car again the whole afternoon, so eerily deserted that area... )


Very interesting all the hippo paths!




And then we cut across to the Pioneer Dam again, and got wildly lost on the loops...


But we didn't care and were not afraid!


A Kittlitz' plover, says Klippies! (lifer)






Now we were looking directly into the sun!


Spot the aminal. (Not the springboks... )

Funnily enough the most frequent sighting yesterday was elephant dung, all over the place, but during the whole day, I only saw ONE ellie

The S49 is not completely pointless, it takes you back to where you came from

There is an animal in the side mirror

Indeed that area is looking so completely different when dry, Richprins

Love the ellies at the water point

At least you saw lots of ellies!

It was waterbuck in the pic!

Look at the backlighting!



Dw: "Whaha!"

(He sneezes like that... )


The poor waterbuck ran away, and got the fright of its life when a rabbit jumped up!

In the end everything ran away...


There really are wonderful sceneries along the Tsendze!

Bl: "shongololo..."



And we fortunately arrived at the Shipandane hide again...seems all roads lead there!




RP: "We shall really have to polish up on our navigation..."

Did you enjoy the succulent plants there?

I think you had fun anyway

It is amazing how barren it is there in winter compared to in summer! Check Pumbaa's Trip Report: viewtopic.php?f=46&t=9346&start=780







Now everybody wanted to play on the dam wall, like little monkeys...






Frewells is an incredible coward and never wants to take chances...strange that he never misses a Dimwits trip...


RP: "Frewells! Stop hiding and being such a baby, man! They can't see you from camp!'

Frew: "Shhht!"

Waiting their turn!





The only cloud of the day!







The Orange Samoosa really is the best Game Reserve Vehicle ever!

(Goldenboy does not accept stopping for anything for more than 30 seconds, so sits at the wheel in stony silence until we move again... )




RP: "Frewells! Stop picking your nose, man! "

Yes, Klippies, the Euphorbias!

A rabbit! The sighting of the month The sneeze must have woken it up

The Shipandane area looks very nice There is some green close to the water, but I prefer it in summer

What kind of car is that "thing"?
