Molopo Nature Reserve, Mabuasehube & KTP

[cprinsloo]

Hi all,

Was in Molopo, Mabuasehube and Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park for a few days.

The Hilux's EFI behaved itself!!

The Kalahari is green and the game is fat.

Saw some lion, a cheeta feeding and some other interesting stuff. Also got rained on in Mata-Mata, I guess that doesn't happen too often.

Sumary: 2 nights in Molopo. Saw eland, ostrich, kudu, springbok, rooibok and gemsbok. Also bakoorjakkals and nightjars. One can go for night drives on your own. Got a puncture on the bad road to Molopo

3 nights in Mabua (Khiding Pan). Totally isolated. No water. Brown hyena. Kwaai! Other people had lions playing in their campsite.

1 night Matopi. Saw lions on the road. Again totally isolated. No facilities whatsoever.

2 nights Rooiputs. Not so isolated but also very nice.

Last 2 nights at Mata-Mata. Rain and wind the first night, interesting. Saw herds of springbokke, gemsbokke, hartbeeste, blou wilde beeste, ostriches etc. Pufadder in the road.

Not lekka at work :-((

Cheers,

C

Ek het maar gebel: 00 267 3180774 en toe het hulle vir my e-mail gestuur so 'n paar dae later. Mabua en KTP is nog die enigste parke in Bots wat relatief bekostigbaar is, daarom moet mens maar vroeg bespreek.

Voorspoed,

Very Nice! Leaving next week.
Did you travel between TR and Nossob? heard the road is closed?

Yes, they are working on the road, so the official detour is from TR on the Mata-Mata road and then over the dunes again, till you get to the original road at Kei-Kei. Rooiputs residents can use the road on the Bots side.

Cheers,

Ja Mark, ek dink Chris moet sommer 'n ordentlike lens op daardie kamera he as ek na die "Cheeta brekfis" kyk.

Nee wat, dis sommer 'n super mik-en-druk (Canon S3). Die cheeta het langs die pad gelê, seker so 8 - 10 meter van ons af, met 'n groot zoem lens sou mens die stof op sy snorbaarde kon afneem....

Ek is nie 'n fotograaf nie, probeer net altyd afneem om die herinneringe op te roep.

[cprinsloo]

Something interesting: look at the backside of the springbok, some koringkrieke also enjoying the meat!

[arnize2]

O, ek sien nou eers dit is 'n mak Cheeta. Hy het 'n halsband om.
