Our stopover in Van Zylsrus was also a great highlight of our journey together!
On the 1st morning (17 May), my brother Andronicus and me, left for early morning drive. To our big surprise, what did we
On the morning of 20 May 2015 we found two lionesses with a kill - we spent the whole day at this sighting! Awesome times! Many photographic opportunities! Yes!
During 2015, I was fortunate to acquire the wonderful book by oom Piet Heymans about 'Ousus - Lady of the Kalahari'. Therefore, a much anticipated visit was made to Bedinkt waterhole to celebrate and reminiscence this wonderful story as told by oom Piet.
We left Nossob on the morning of 21 May 2015 and a near hit by three Cheetahs on a Springbok was sighted. Eish!
Being a keen birder as well, I found many opportunities to make the trip even so more enjoyable. The photographic book (see link below) showcases some of my pictures.
After our trip, I also made a QPHOTO PHOTOBOOK as a memory of excellent times with family and newly found friends, ie Reinhard and Beate from Germany. Herewith the link to experience our journey with us.
As you can see and sense, we had a wonderful time as family and friends together! Looking forward to our next journey!
