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

Besides the good food we had that evening, we were presented with an awesome sunset
As well as a full moon later on
We were home

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

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
While this wildebeest was catching the early morning sun

One of our only snake sightings of the trip was of this cape cobra crossing the road.
Past Kij Kij we spotted these two bateleur eagles perched up in a tree, having a moment
