Nossob 4x4 Eco Trail & almost lion food

[kids@camping]

I'm back after a very long absenteeism time
Life just happens, ruff time at work where about 1/2 of the employees were retrenched I’ve also received a letter BUT luckily mine were retracted when I was on holiday in Dubai....

A couple of trips to KTP later & some awesome sightings
If you still follow my YouTube channel, you are up to date

We left home on 16 November 2024. Overnight just outside Kuruman. We stopped in Upington and Goerapan before leaving for Twee Rivieren.

Arriving at TR, we were greeted by two VERY friendly ladies and we had to produce all our accommodation papers for our stay…

Went for a short drive up to Rooiputs waterhole, before dinner at the restaurant.

Black-shouldered Kite

Ostrich and Gemsbok at Moravet

Soon and we've reached Dikbaardskolk, another bathroom break.
Just love the flowers on the Three Thorn bushes

Just in time to take a couple of shots before the Black-Chested Snake-Eagle (juvenile) take off

Will that be of many??

Looking forward to this. I have done the trail.

I just love red necked falcons. most handsome birds.

Minor detail, your black shouldered kite is a Kalahari chicken, pale chanting goshawk.

[Meandering Mouse]

K@C, great to see you again. It sounds as though it has been a difficult time.

I love the sentinal Meercat. also the cute baby giraffe.

What bird sightings. Well spotted Owls. They are often so well camouflaged.

That delicious-looking tart and ice cream has awoken my tastebuds.

Thank you very much for commenting, appreciate

And then just before Kij Kij... & no other car

They are joined by an unknown female...

We spend quite a while with them before moving on...


These Gemsbok wanted to have a drink at the waterhole, but decided overwise

Black-chested Snake-Eagle

Then at the waterhole... Kij Kij

[FinMari]

Super Mom & family

I like scary Gemsboks' photo

Ostrich chicks are so funny cute

Thank you so much for sharing kids@camping

[Meandering Mouse]

at the supermom and family sighting. What a clever mommy.

Your photos of animals clustered in the shade certainly tell a story. It looks to have been very hot.

I love the baby ostriches.

[Karin Mitton]

half struise
Glad you are back and sorry to hear about the work stress - hope everything is settled now.
I am on board for sure. Looking at those lions I think I saw them at Kij Kij on my recent trip.

Your TR title sounds interesting .....

[Tessa G]

Thrilled to have found the start of your KTP Eco Trail TR.

Oooh that cake.

That amazing feeling when you open that gate for the first time and now you are really and truly in the park.

Love the owls and the perching meerkat. Where were they hiding when we were there?

Great raptor and bird sightings with super photos.

I'm sure the female mating near Kij Kij must have been "Supermom" and we never realised it......and no other car. The beauty of KTP!

Ostrich chicks.

I'm on the bus, with my snacks.

Thanks so much for sharing K@C
