Aha!

But there is no aircon there, it seems, so not gonna happen for me!

[Peter Betts]

Yes No aircon ..But the Best Completely outdoor showers Brought from Home = 2 x 2 Litre Coke Bottles with tiny holes drilled in the lid caps ..Fill Both with warm water ..Take clothes off ..Use one to wet body and soap up and 2nd bottle to rinse off after washing hair ...far cheaper than those R 10000 Jobs bought at 4x4 Shops or supplied in Yuppie Gecko Tar Road Berg en Dal Speciality Caravans and FAR less to bring !!..Its quite safe ..nobody is there to spy on you having a shower

[Richprins]

I don't have hair...

[Flutterby]

So you would only need one bottle!!

Every morning I would leave Jane to wake up and get her day started for an hour or so while I would ease down the hill at 07h00 20 mins before actual sunrise in April (Sun rises much later in the far West compared to Kruger) and drove past Campsites 2 and 1 who were either unoccupied for days or the resident couple would be having their breakfast cereal and we always waved ..Nature lovers are like that. Once down at the bottom on the South African side I would scan the area and literally every morning I didnt have to go further as there was always something to look at in this sublime light before the onslaught of traffic 45 mins later by which time the best of the sightings and the light were long gone

[Peter Betts]

The Dunes were always covered with fresh lion spoor in this vicinity ..you can see some on the bottom left of the pic above

[Flutterby]

Always a nice way to start your morning.

You sure love your lions
