SG at Union end , this time without Mushi

Amazing to think that you can be flooded in the desert!! Glad you could sort out the problem without too much hassle.

Awesome pics of the snake!! What snake is it?

I also like the secretary bird!

Puff adder eating the mouse

LOVELY TO SEE THE RAIN after our dry April

Intriguing stuff, Peter, and what a kill again!

Ja, I know the feeling, also flooded out once in exactly the same way at Etosha!

Hopefully the geysers were eventually sorted...

One thing you learn as a camper is to do maintenance when it starts raining

Lovely pictures of the snake having breakfast

Thanks PRwin,

fantastic raptor sighting - Also love the cheetahs and what thrilling snake shots on top

Lovely pic of the Lanner and the Puffy having breakfast is a great sighting

Thanks RP, the geyser not sure as the last two groups before us had the same problem. no 2 and 5 geysers where OOO. Was not too bad seen worse at Nossob where a couple in a hiking tent nearly flouted away, sleeping bags and clothes all wet . Just glad it was not that cold as it can get in winter there.

Thanks Alf, The joys of camping holding onto pegs and poles 02h00 in the mourning, just enjoying every one running around at night , swearing and screaming for help when you don't have a problem
