Then there is the oryx youngster with his one horned mum...

thank you Mel
I know there is Bullfrogs at Lijersdraai, I have heard them one evening during a big shower(rain)
have a look if....if.... there is some water there... good luck
maybe mum had having (???) problems to put baby in the world

That is where I saw my bullfrogs in Jan 2017 Nan....in a puddle in the road just before one gets to Lijersdraai picnic spot. :)

thank Michele

No not yet ... we leave this morning to drive half way....will get cheese on the way back..no room in deep freeze at the moment. :)

Love the frog, and the Courser - never seen either one.

The similar shapes of the oryx horns and the grass blades really does make an interesting picture

3.3 Okokvejo

Early in the morning we leave Mukiti Lodge for Okokvejo. We cross the entire southern part of the park, not to mention loops and viewpoints. Again a multitude of birds, a Black-backed Jackal, a large family Ostriches, congratulations to parents, not easy to raise as many chicks in such conditions.

We arrive at the camp, wow a little wonder, a 2-story bungalow overlooking the waterhole which is surrounded by benches. I will occupy the room of the first, under the roof.
The bed is equipped with a mosquito net very useful ... Bats could be hanged in the thatch of the roof, mosquitoes I didn't see any of them
The mosquito net is especially well made, it also surrounds the bedside tables, so good access to bedside lamps during the night
