Pumbaa, Bushbuddies, nan, Trrp - thank you! :thumbs_up:

Here comes part two of the other sightings of that day:

PGC perching on top of a dead tree along the Nossob riverbed:

Swallow-tailed bee-eater just opposite where we found our cute AWC:

Nesting giant eagle owl just outside TR. Loved that one as well, but would have never found it on my own. Thanks to Jannie for telling me where to look:

Yellow mongoose – for a change not in a camp or at a picnic site but roaming the Aoub riverbed:

The empty looking landscape of the Aoub:

Wildebeest congregation at Kampfersboom:

LBJ (lark of some sort?) at Auchterlonie picnic site: *edit* It's a spike-heeled lark (tick!)

Our afternoon drive revealed almost nothing with this springbok roadblock being the most memorable encounter:

The vast landscape of red sand dotted with green shrubs against a deep blue sky from our balcony at KK:

And finally the day saying farewell:

Stunning picture of the Bee-eater. They seldom pose so diligintly, and your LBJ is really cute.

That BBJ pup just too cute for words and all your other pics really capture the moods of the Kalahari :cam:

Need to get to Kieliekrankie - never been but there is something about that balcony view which says "come find out for yourself how good this is!" thank u for keeping us hooked! :gflower:

Hi Lionspoon

Awesome sightings before 9.30am :clap:

LOVE the jackal pup and the AWC :mrgreen:

And perhaps the rest of the day was a bit quiet, but my goodness, the scenery and the colours.....stunningly beautiful

I wonder if Dad and I can do KNP and KTP in our 5 week trip in 2015 :hmz:
