:thumbs_up: Thanks once again for your lovely comments :D
As I mentioned before, we did not rush out of camp at gate opening time, instead while a Nossob, we enjoyed early morning coffee in the hide while watching and listening to the kalahari wake up. Sometimes I was amazed as to how we managed to open our eyes in the mornings as the lions roared alongside the camp fence for 3 nights in a row :shock: :D Magnificent :dance: :dance:
Right now, I wish I was still sitting in the hide, it was so tranquil and so beautiful

After all these wonderful sightings, our coffee mugs very empty and so was our stomachs, bacon and eggs was on the menu :D

What wonderful sightings from the Crystal ball :dance: :dance:

Just love the meerkat relaxing and trying to stay cool in the heat :)

Lucky to have a pygmy not flying off before you get the camera out :clap: :clap: :clap:

Best pic for me is the doves sitting on the dead tree at the Nossob Waterhole :dance: :thumbs_up:

Hi Dreamer, Only just come across your TR - tks for your lovely pics. Wow the heat must have been unbearable; it certainly does look dry. Normaly grass is tall and green this time of the year. Hope this is not the start of a dry 7 year cycle.
Keep it coming.
