And not to be left out, don’t forget the regulars

A bok

And a Blou Wildebeest

Back at camp

Ground squirrels

And time to chill

We spent the afternoon getting ready for our move to Polentswa the next day and went for a short drive down to Leewdril
We don’t have any photos of the drive, which probably explains what we saw

[Richprins]

Nice Gavin, ja the cheetahs seem to run for the hills when you arrive!

Interesting heater struggle, and once again pleasant during the day!

Nice closeups.

[Lisbeth]

I love the squirrels

Your wife seems to be a chilling champion

[GavinW]

I love the squirrels

Your wife seems to be a chilling champion

She works really hard and I couldn't pitch the tent without her

[GavinW]

Just I take the pics in camp so you don't see me chilling as well

[Lisbeth]

If you are working hard, you have the right to chill

[Mel]

Darn, those cheetahs were not very cooperative

But nice sightings all around. Love those squirrel shots

Thanks for all your comments everyone

Wednesday 1 May 2022

It was another very chilly morning when we packed up camp at Rooiputs, and were soon on the road destination Polentswa
It is a fair distance so we left as early as possible and headed directly north up the Nossob River

It proved to be an easy drive with the roads having recently been graded, but sightings were few and far between
We did get to see a bit though

First up was this rather cold tawny eagle

And near Melkvlei, the resident wildebeest were hanging around

After a coffee stop at Melvlei we continued on our way
This herd of Rooi Hartebeest were really special

[GavinW]

Otherwise we saw very little else until we got to Polentswa at about 3pm
We decided to have a quick look at the waterhole and spotted this warthog having a drink

We went to camp and set up out tent in campsite no 1

And chilled for the rest of the day
