… and a dream became reality

WOW! Is this a Lowveld trip or a desert trip, nana?

Kingfisher, tortoise, herbs...

Food looks good, thanks for putting the bones on one side for me!

What astounding colours, and good for you to see your favourites...

That camp looks lovely...aircon?

Tortoise instead of Leopard
I use the hands for the bones at the end of the meal
normally I offer meat and not bones

aircon why
there is a ceiling fan, not very fonctional
enough wind there... hot wind

This morning I decide to go through the big loop, a way to return to Nossob valley
On leaving the camp, two kittens are lying on the roof of cabin No. "0", I hope that I will find them on returning

On the private road that leads to the small road of the dunes, a Steenbok feeds on the mineral salts of the road. There are a lot of predators ... winged, cats are not at the rendezvous

On the road to the big dune I meet a lot of vehicles ... pressed, as always, taking this road for a shortcut and wrongly thinking that there is nothing
The car that comes in front, drives so fast that it can't avoid the snake that crosses on its side
I stop immediately. It is completely erect, but the time to take a position, while paying attention to the driver that recedes, the Cobra has more or less resumed its usual position

In Nossob River, a Black-chested Snake Eagle devours a Mole Snake, another road kill ... on the sandy road
It flew away on a near tree, at my approach. I take some pictures of the remains of the snake ... I hope the bird will return to its precious dinner.

Around Kameelsleep a truck had to leave its trailer, missing a tire
It is written in the back "FAIT" (=DONE) ... I wonder what is being done



FAIT=done

And again quite a lot of large birds, but still no cat. There are two Egyptian Goose and some intrigued Oryx at the sight of these geese in Kij Kij, instead of the usual Lions

The road to the little dune is practically deserted, apart from the noisy Northern Black Korhaan.

A good rinse (rain) washes the car that needs it a lot, after the flooded roads in the north

At the camp, I spot a Gecko hole, hoping that it is inhabited and that its occupant will be show up just on time ... for the evening concert
