You are right about the pellet

Lots of strange bones; most likely mice
Lovely sunset on the Mankwe Dam

Hi Dzombo.

I was so sure it was a blackie.

11 October 2018 - Final posting.
One of the few LBR's we saw.
An approaching thunderstorm turned into some strong wind, lots of dust and nothing else..
Soil erosion prevention.
This fellow did not look too comfortable but was eating something off the leaves?
Roadblock??
Rhino at Tilodi Dam.
Unfortunately Pilanesberg did not say farewell to us with the usual last day surprise.
Thanks very much for joining our trip.

I just hope it's not too bad!

Storms brewing all over the place
Quite a few OSVs also in Pilanesberg
Nice to get rid of an itch
Thank you, STF for another great trip to Pilanesberg. Not that quiet after all
