All these various pix/topics you're posting are very inspiring, JB! They are making me really want to visit this park. It looks like it has lots to offer!! Thanks for the obvious effort you've made to provide such an excellent visual overview of this park. The differences from year to year are very interesting. You're lucky to have been able to visit this park so relatively frequently! :mrgreen:

The park is really beautiful. What I find irresistible is the rock formations

All these gorgeous pics still don't do justice to a stunning park. I reckon if you don't fall in love with it on your first visit (as I did) then you can't have a heart! The rock formations, the baobabs, the gorgeous Leokwe camp and pool, the friendly smiling people, they're all part of a very special package.

I'm sure you'll find the heritage walk fascinating, wendyp. The guides are really well informed and they make it fun, too. We had the smiling, friendly Moses Baloyi when we visited and he truly made it a morning to remember. If he tells you a big oval hole in the ground used to be a jacuzzi, don't believe him!
