That's put VERY nicely

At least you got to meet some Wildies even if it was too short.

True, Flutts

That night we had our first, still rather tame, encounter with the local camp residents... a mother honey badger with her pretty grown offspring...
While we were sitting on our friends porch enjoying dinner, our bin (no lid?!) was being ransacked. Although, there hadn't been much to be found
in there apart from the odd Savanna or Castle bottle. Hence a heck of a noise. Anyway, it told us to make sure to bin everything in the bigger
containers - badger proof - provided in the camp ( ) before going to bed that night. A late night too. Anything after 10 pm is a late night for me
when being in the park. The boys sat for a long time while the girls and the kids went off to bed at a halfway reasonable time. But since we had
seen it coming, we had agreed on taking it slow the next morning. After the long flight, the relatively early start on the first morning and an even
earlier one to make it to the meet, we were all in "lie-in" modus.

While the girls were happy to stay in camp with the waterhole right in front of it, the boys - big and small - decided to go on a drive around 11 am ( )
The boys' mother (M) decided to take a nap and I kept myself busy with some washing, reading and photographing. Lots of bird activity in the camp,
but since there was so much shade, the photos are not great and I don't see the point in posting darkish pix of regular birds

Only my favourite sightings and shots... First up the tree squirrel which is so cute that I would have loved to take some, let them breed and dump them
in the KTP
As I was sitting on the porch doing some serious reading there was a huuuge racket on the roof. It turned out to be a red-billed hornbill chasing a cricket.
And some more of the extremely cute squirrels
Also, a very serious looking tree attendant

When they returned three hours later they reported wild dogs on the S106
On the other hand, they hadn't seen much of them as the dogs were resting for the evening's / night's activities

Of course it was decided to do an evening drive down the H7 and up again on the S106, hoping that the dogs would still be there
and possibly getting up and running again. Well... they did not. Because they were gone... And I hadn't seen them... And they had
been the most wanted animal on my list

We did see the usual suspects, but once again, I didn't have much opportunity for good photos, so I mainly sat and enjoyed
I did get a good look at this zebra foal though:
And nobody takes away sunsets from me

love the Squirrels and the attendant
and of course the Grasshoper
cute little Zebra

Nice sightings in the camp...the squirrels are very cute.

Nice sunset.

Loverly cute squirrels
