Thanks for the kind comments :dance: :dance:

The rest of the day was quiet, but we saw our first Cheetah's posing against the beautiful red dunes

Image

Image

Again the sad sight of the many dead Eland's

Image

On our way back to the camp a Secretarybird was patrolling and looking for food

Image

The only Gemsbok we saw was the two in front of the office with a bonus Drongo...

Image

Our last night at TR and use the opportunity to capture a few sunset images
Love the bird in the corner

Image

Image

We will be back at TR in 9 days but next camp Nossob....

Awesome Cheetahs Jan! :D But so sad about the dead Elands! Did you manage to see more live ones? :(

Lovely Secretary Bird, but the Drongo on the Gemsbok's horn while he is running, is superb! :clap: :clap:

No words for those beautiful sunsets! :dance: :dance:
