Done and Dusted

Lisbeth - I will make the pics bigger.
We have and we will stop on the side of the road - but we were trying to be "good citizens"

Never been one to get out the gate as it opens. Most of my best sightings have been round about midday even though I am (usually) an early riser

if.... if everybody follows the rules, there will have less problems... like everywhere
like you most of my best sightings were around noon

Also agree with sleeping in!

Haha...Game of Thrones!

No rush on a TR, Moggie!

I think you girls are very brave to travel in KTP alone. I'm afraid I am not that independent and need my man with a plan to get me out of similar scrapes to yours

RP - Game of thrones is nothing compared to the merry widows let loose in the Kgalagadi

Puppy - the South African side is no problem - but I think the two of us became one of the sightings of some peoples trips when it was established we were alone and a single vehicle on the dunes

Lunch done and dusted - time to head for camp. Our initial plan had been to bomb through to Mata Mata to get there as early as possible, set up camp then go hunting. Needless to say we were far too distracted with sightings and scenery to make this plan of action a realty.
First things first - time to check if lazy bones had decided to move. Nope. Still in the same place - so tried the bleating stunt and he indeed dained to move - but simply onto his back to carry on snoring.

We did have a couple of reasonable sightings - beside lazy bones - including our first kill of the trip



Giving us a quick glance in case we had intentions of pirating his lunch


he/she decided we posed no threat and settled down to enjoy his hard earned catch


The road was long but the beauty of the terrain and the chit chat and laughter in the car certainly made the time pass far too fast.






Hidden against a back drop of sand a lone jackal belegged along - minding his own business - and certainly had no interest in the crazy ladies who had stopped to interrupt him.



We made comparatively good time even though we were stopping to look at rats, Trees, bokkies and other creatures that inhabit the area.




Oh and lets not forget our feathered friends



There was much debate about taking the high road or the low road - the low road got the vote. We were not sorry as it delivered our first sighting of bat eared foxes.
(At this point I will apologize for the quality of some of the photos - but this is a trip report and in some cases bad photos can be relevant to the story.)



I will cut here as I could be loading too many pics for easy loading

Scenery looks great and not too crowded


I am a supporter of lousy photos, bring'em on - so far there are not any here

[Lisbeth]

I love your foxes and as Toko said, nothing wrong with the quality! I would love pics still a bit bigger though (Longest side 800 pxl max.)

Love the foxes.
