The rain which Aristocat refers to in the webcam picture just missed Twee Rivieren, the rain started yesterday afternoon and seemed that it covered a huge part of the park.

As soon as I receive rainfall stats from the other camps I will keep you posted.

It seems that the rain is a bit on the late side, but we are still expecting good rains to follow in the next month or two.

I can vouch for the 61mm at Kamqua cause we were there when most of it fell :lol:

That is great! Was in KTP years ago, when it was Kalahari Gemsbok Park still, when it rained quite heavily and the Nossob flowed nearly up to TR. It was amazing how many tortoises appeared out of the veld to drink water from the puddles of water in the road. We ended up being too late to get back to Nossob in time. Fortunately the mail was left at TR and we were allowed to return to Nossob provided we take the mail with us. What a no brainer...we slept over at TR. Hahahaha....what a pleasure driving in the park at such a time with nobody else on the road. Took us extra long to get to Nossob! :thumbs_up:

Good morning from a rather cold Kgalagadi.

Last night we have seen some amazing thunderstorms all around the park with some heavy rains (unfortunately none at Twee Rivieren camp).

The feedback I just had from Felix999 who is returning from the park today is that it's still VERY dry all over.
Are the rains just late this year, or is there a real chance that the rainy season will pass without much rain this year? What effect will this have on the wildlife? :big_eyes:
