We are counting the months to next April when we visit Rooiputs again but here are a some of the experiences we had with our wild neighbours . Unlike my recent stay at Tsendze where I had to drive for 36 kms to get to Grootvlei Dam early in the morning ..Here I just free wheeled down the hill 500 metres to the Rooiputs waterhole and parked and had guys like this to myself for at least 45 minutes before traffic arrived from Twee Rivieren . This guy deserves a click to appreciate his true beauty..He sometimes walked past our tent trailer in the middle of the night as Rooiputs unlike Tsendze is not fenced

The Rand is too weak unfortunately and the petrol gets far too expensive for you in SA, if related to your cost of living
I am sure that the % of the tax is the same, meaning that the government is earning more
They could at least cut a couple of percentage points (

Rooiputs certainly is cat lover's heaven! Wonderful shots of the them.
When you bring your own toilet paper, you can at least make sure that you don't have to use that transparent stuff
SanParks issues in the camps and at the picnic spots
