Apart from the tourons, it seems to have been a nice afternoon. The cheetahs are beautiful and I love the pics of the korhaan \O

I can't complain, Cheetahs and Honey Badger make for an excellent day!

Day 12, Friday June 14, Twee Rivieren.

It had to happen, our last full day in the KTP :-( , we did the reverse of yesterday's drive this morning, up the Auob, across the lower dune road, up to Melkvlei picnic spot and back down the Nossob river to TR.

Our first sighting for the day was a Tawny Eagle that was behaving very strangely

Then I saw it was trying to pick up a twig. It must have been just the right twig for its nest considering the amount of effort it took to get!

A flash of crimson in the bush

We had more luck on the dune road that we did yesterday

Image
Image

Lesser Kestrel
Image

Black Korhaan
Image

Dune road panorama, what an amazing vista!

Bad Hair Day or Jedward bush

More eye-popping colours

A pugnacious looking brindled Gnu

Ostriches taking a sand bath.

I agree - the colours are absolutely amazing! And that oryx on the red dune
against the beautiful blue sky is particularly nice. \O

Interesting tawny sighting - would have loved to watch that as well. O:V

But the last full day? :-(
