Turns out the first gunfire was poachers then the second and the car speeding was the anti-poaching unit. Another pack-up-and-move-along morning. I've gotten so used to it, I no longer rush. Aasiyah got bonus today! We had loads of “ertjie” stops due to vet fences. (I know it makes no sense, but I won't make the logic public). At a petrol stop in Nata we found halaal Barcelos ! Chicken burgers never tasted so good !!
I don't know the exact km, but 90km through the pans took us 3 hours !!Beautiful baobab after beautiful baobab
Subhanallah !
I saw a vultures nest in one !
CAMP :
We were told it was an eco-friendly camp. It was 'eco', I'm not so sure about 'friendly'.
The camp was rustic. No water, no electricity, no reception and a long-drop!
The site was big and all of us could fit on it spaciously. There was a huge baobab under which we setup camp.
Having been to Mina on Hajj, I rekoned I could handle a long-drop. I couldn't! I gagged! I couldn't handle the smell. Perhaps if one left the door open and didn't contain the stench.
I used the potty. I think we should get a porta-potty in future. I can't stoop so low over a kids potty. Why didn't I go in the bush ? I didn't feel it was bushy enough to make me feel 'covered'. The sunset was spectacular and it wasn't that cold.
At the camp meeting it was decided that the toilet door would remain open and a stick would be used to indicate it was in use.
