I am humble for all the positive comments...Thank you :dance: :dance:

It was an amazing day to Unie End and back, but to top it all we stopped just before the camp to witness,enjoy and smell our first raindrops on our trip.

Image

The afternoon after a dust storm the rain came down and what a sight.

Image

We went for a afternoon drive to appreciate the wonders of the Kgalagadi.

Image

It almost looks as if the Nossob river is in flood.

Image

The poor Jackal didn't like it very much, but maybe he was glad the heat was broken.

Image

Image

Looks like the Springboks seen it all before.

Image

Goshawk after the rain shower.

Image

...and to top off one of our best days, the the most beautiful rainbow we have ever saw.

Image

Image

Day 6 to be continued...
