The Last Post.. umm.. hope not!!!

So, tomorrow (Thursday here) we are off to Pont Drift (yep, google that) to start our two weeks with Eco Training. First week in the Tuli game reserve in the Nth East of Botswana, then the second week at Makuleke in the Kruger National Park.  Both places have no access to cellphone, internet or even reliable power..  Sounds great to me.

 No idea why they bother trying to keep it closed, as the animals take no notice.  We like that. I almost had a warthog bump into me here last night. And they look very intimidating!
                              Not photoshopped. Sunrise from the top of the mountain at 0635 today.
                              The front gate..  really excellent place. ( The camp!!!  not the gate!!  jeeze!!  )


                                               Tshipise from the mountain top

                         a Klippsrpinger. Unique in the world of antelopes.  About the size of a large goat.
                              We spooked this one and it's mate coming down the mountain.



Everything over here has nasty thorns. Sunset, with one of the many types of acacia. Ali got hooked up really well, I just was too slow with the camera, it would have been a great shot. Ask her!!! Took some real effort to get the thorn out of her arm.  Such fun.
