Nossob

nan, form when are those pictures? I reckon they are precious. Nowadays it seems even Nossob is pretty much fully booked.
It definitely is in October / November and that without it being school holidays.

Alright... That's the month when you even can sometimes snatch something at Uri or Grootkolk
Was it very hot then? I've always wondered why January and most of February are not that popular whereas the rest of the year it gets mostly fully booked by now.

in this bungalow it was ok
right January and February are easier to find something... but a bit "un-sewn" (décousu) going in all sens, one night here and another there etc...

End December it was very hot. We had to leave the windows open to be able to sleep At Uri one day we had decided to stay in, but it was so hot (42°) that we had to go for a drive. Viva the A/C

Seeing the compilation of our sightings at Nossob like in this thread, I must admit that Nossob has treated us kindly so far.
Not only because of this handsome guy... Those of you who read my TT will remember the story. For the sake of completeness
here, I'll tell it again

We were meant to move onwards to Urikaruus that day and after a short visit at the hide before gate opening time with nothing
much to see, we decided to leave rather early to spend the afternoon on the deck at Uri. But we only got like 200 metres or so
down the road when I noticed some dust in the riverbed. This guy had walked up from Marie - where we had seen him and his
mate who was mating with his lady - during the night. Car was turned and we ended up in the hide again. Luckily enough, we
were amongst the first ones to realize what was happening, so we got seats in the front row and me got trigger happy.









And while we were watching, a brown hyena moved it on top of it. But with a lion at the waterhole, it thought it better
to make a quick exit again...

Mr H. is a pretty guy, is he still around?
