Arriving before the sun went down was a treat as Summer rolls in. The spacious camp site allowed us to manoeuvre ourselves into the perfect position – close to the ablutions, near the fire area, sunset, moon set and shade for the increasingly hot days. The milky way overhead to add delight to the dark nights as the Cheshire-cat Moon smiled down on us.
A black backed jackal visited us in the growing dark and peacefully lay just a small way into the bush, visiting again a few times during our stay. Delightful bird calls from the chinspot batis called ‘three blind mice’ into the perfect day as the sun rose.
Green shoots on the sweet-thorn trees around camp dazzling in their promise of lazy days to come.
Waking up to enjoy the ‘spoor’ close to camp – Zebs, giraffe, mongoose, impala, and spotted hyena! How very special to experience the wildlife in such close proximity.
The call of jackal and hyena add a very ‘African’ note to the end of the day.
Zebra grazing close to the camp brought special delight as we cheered the Bokke to victory. The different speeds of the internet feeds around us making the victory echo and echo and echo again.
A very Happy Birthday break
Itchy Feet!
