On we went to the second camp, Halali, which is totally different once again (in Mopane country) for a peek.

No pics... -O-

Further on there was another lion lying under a bush next to the road, if I recall?

No pics... :-?

Then our big destination, Okaukuejo (Skukuza):

^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^ you experienced water in the pan. Did you maybe see any birds, flamingoes etc?

These camps are ugly monstrosities (and have an ugly history).
