After the wild cat, the only thing of interest which we spotted on the way back to camp was this spotted eagle owl perched regally in a tree 0/*

It was really nice to get back to camp and light our first braai of the trip.

No, as far as I know Rooiputs was unaffected, but Polentswa was not so lucky. (north of Nossob)

Monday 26 April 2021


The Kgalagadi always delivers, but in different ways

After the rush of yesterday, arriving, cheetah and wild cat sightings as well as our first evening in the park, today turned out to be slightly different

We woke early, full of expectations, and we were greeted with this perfect Kgalagadi sunrise.

As we travelled up towards Kij Kij, a secretary bird strutted around
