Nice Puffy
Looks like you standing behind the Ellie
Past Jones dam you must be at Nhlanguleni .Looks like its even more rundown than when we stopped there a few years ago the skulls used to sit on poles by the fence now they have a broken table to rest on

And Lo, we had arrived!
We were speedily at our unit!
And Chicken + Garlic bread was on my menu that night, as it was my turn to cook!

The unit is advertised as a six-bedder, but there are actually two bedrooms with two beds each, plus this ridiculous sleeper couch which is only big enough for a young child!
Dw: "It are big enough for me!"
And soon sun had set!
Dw: "I are a disco!"
This ominous sign...
Q: What does Talamati mean?

What would you have done if there were 6 of you?
Luckily Dwarf is XS
How can they rent a four-bed chalet for a six-bed one
You must be a chicken expert by now
Dw: "I are a disco!"
Talamati is a Xitsonga word that means "Lots of Water”

Looks like a nice unit apart from the room reference we have also run fowl of this before .The Mopani 4 beds are only good for 2 Adults and two kids and the 3 Sleeper Tamboti tents are actually only suitable for two adults and one young kid . SANPARKS does need to update the unit descriptions to make this clear .

Nice sightings indeed, Richprins
It is long time ago since we stayed at Talamati - Always a nice camp

all!
Yes, Talamati means "abundance of water".
Next morning Dwarf and I decided to stay in camp, and went for A Walk!
Dw: "I are a prime specimen of manhood!"
There is a lovely path all along the camp fence, very green and inviting on the river side!
A butchbuck was barking away like mad on the other side of the river!
The grass was so dense a leopard would be able to creep right up to it!

Then a nice ram right next to us!
Totally tame!
I forget what these workers were up to...trimming branches? (And seated supervising, the way I like to work...
)
Q: Can you see an aminal in the fourth-last pic?
