Yes I know ..it has been tough for many . We are just hoping the provincial borders don't get closed ...Covid is spiking badly here in Cape Town...and other places as well. So yes if we do manage to get to the KTP on the 27th we are indeed lucky. :)

I will be crossing fingers for you! With this new mutated virus, you'll never know 
I just heard that Switzerland has closed the borders not only for people coming from GB but also from SA, so you must have got it down there too

Re: Kgalagadi BIRD Challenge - Fun & Drinks
I think I must leave the rain out of this conversation ...suffice to say it tested me to my absolute limits and I had to throw money at the problem and upgrade to a chalet for a night. You know that saying "save money for a rainy day " well thank goodness I had some saved rainy day money as I upgraded to a chalet at Augrabies as well.
