p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Kgalagadi Day 4

Final day in the park! It was bittersweet as we were just getting in the swing of things and enjoying the company of our local SA friends who joined us in the reserve. Was also a bit stressful as the sketchy rental van (apparently our guide operator had sourced the car last minute as he had none other available) was having air pressure issues on multiple tires and the spare tire was hardly in better condition! Couple that with the fact that we were running late for our flight to the Sabi Sands reserves and the windy roads getting out of the park onto the highway and you've got a lot on your mind!

I was quite confident with Willie that he'd deliver us in time, and that he did with even some time to spare. Anyway, here's the final partial day's photos!

Thanks for looking,

Jeff

Jeff,

Your 4 days were very productive. Africa is sensory overload. I wish I can go back again soon.

Nice shots!

Thanks for the comments, guys! I hope you all aren't getting sick of me, because it's off to Sabi Sands next!

Mansur, Africa is definitely a sensory and emotional overload. I share your feelings about returning.

Like to see the impressive and endangered giraffe. The martial eagle is always a memorable sighting.

Sad to hear about the giraffe and all the other species that are in danger, Don.

Humans can be horrible creatures at times.

Thanks for commenting!

Very well done again Geoff. The giraffes and the BE stand out, but I do suggest moving the BE off center a bit ~ Ron

Thanks buddy! There is something about B&W and Africa that go together like peanut butter and jelly.

Amazing shots. Number one really catches my eye along with #8. B&W really does the trick.
