Richprins' Short Business Trips to The Park

The weather prediction was only 32 degrees or so, but I was getting concerned as the clouds were not helping...

And more aminals ALREADY in the shade that morning!

Saw rhino too, (my first of 2020) so well into the big 5 before my first impala!

It was too early to check in, and my family was off somewhere, so I went on the Matjulu road, with aircon blazing, and a spot of tea!

Desert!

A zebra! (Always love the mountains!)

Mountain Zebra

The waterhole is dysfunctional, and has to be filled manually with a hose from the pump....been like that for many months.

Sanparks sure has difficulties when it comes to repairing things and the maintenance seems to be non-existing. Sooner or later everything will be broken, if they go on like this

Even the electrical pole falling over from the heat

More animals hiding...a worrying pattern now...

And back to camp to check in and meet the family! $O\/$

Building on the burned restaurant, and I think they are STILL building as we speak!

Then to try and escape the heat at the 6-bed hut...very difficult even under the biggest and fastest fan I have ever encountered!

Eventually the family went off to swim so I snuck into an aircon room for a while! $O/\$

They returned as someone discovered a turd floating in the pool!

We all climbed into Sir Chubby, Prinsadam's vehicle, for an afternoon drive. Mercifully it had cooled down a lot by 4pm! $O\/$

My first giraffe!

I had suggested quite an expansive drive via Timfenene, but my brother more sensibly rerouted us to the Matjulu loop!

A series of cloud pics!

Got a phone call from Borderline saying he had just recovered from

, which was a bit disconcerting! So had some tea!

It really was the most terrible sun...look how big it is!

It really is very pretty there in the mountains! $\O$
