Beautiful picture of the dam Val! :clap:

Great Impala close-up too, and that Waterbuck has an impressive set of horns!

We have seen that Dam very full, and almost empty over the years. :thumbs_up:

Day 15 (Nov 14th)
Wednesday is usually our chores day. We get up later, relax with a coffee on the stoep, shower, dress, have a bacon sandwich, do the laundry, do a big shop, and then have lunch out.

Today was no exception, so no park time.

Meeting 2 special mites tomorrow at Letaba. :thumbs_up:

A park-free day every now and then when you are 5 minutes away for FOUR WHOLE MONTHS can be forgiven!

Looking forward to tomorrow's episode.
