Africa Wild

This was a bit of a last-minute - influenced trip, originally only Marloth Park. Seeing as both Borderline and I were on leave, I managed to book us one night in B&D.

There are few pics so I shall be using those of Borderline too to stretch it out!

Earlier:

Goldenboy: "Ah! I'll take leave too and join you!"

RP: "Ok! "

Dwarf: "Oh! Ven I are taking leave too!"

RP: "That means I must change to an expensive 4-bed hut, are you SURE you will get leave this time? "

Dw: "Ja. Maybe probably! "

And he did do so without cocking it up, a first!

It was a dark and stormy morning as we set sail northward in the Orange Samoosa II!

(It really was dark and stormy! )



The road to Numbi whizzed by!



Meanwhile the Dimwits had printed out various entry forms as per my instruction...although they overdid it a bit...

Still, very organised!




Kids going to school in the mist and drizzle...Hazyview not far away, ironically!

A wet Numbi gate!


Dw: "Vis are a wet Numbi Gate!"





A lifer for me - Senegal Coucal! (Sorry it is a bit dark for the pic...)




And we were being observed!

It was still dripping, so EVERY aminal was to be photographed!

These zebra with faulty stripes seem to be quite prevalent around the Pretoriuskop area?



I had instructed the Dimwits via email a month before to bring "padkos" for that day (Packed food)

But this was obviously too much to ask and they had not, and demanded breakfast at the camp!

Valuable time wasted!

The black thing is not a Senegal coucal!

Very organized

Oh you are so funny

Not even once does it go smoothly (but that's all the fun )

Good start RP

How are you gonna proof that you black blur is a Senegal coucal? Especially since there is hardly any black on that bird

Maybe it was a starling, now that you mention it?
