Our last morning in the Kalahari arrived!

I went out for one last drive while Jackie went for her session with Chris.  There was not too much happening out in Africa though. 

We did however find these two little cuties…

pigmy falcons

AND Jackie managed to get her BIF pic!!!  Eventually it was time to leave the park and head for Augrabies where we would spend 2 nights! Our drive there was uneventful, well except for “Mrs Garmin” losing the plot and recalculating our route umpteen times until Jackie put her out of her misery and re-entered our destination!! 

We were allocated a lekker chalet with a view – so we were chuffed.  By now it was late afternoon, all the dassies were out in full force catching the last of the sunshine before the chilly night set in.  We went for a quick drive out in the park before the gates closed for the night.  Wow – the landscapes one sees at here are stunning, and Jackie got some real great shots, which I’m sure she will share with you all soon!

Unfortunately we never caught the sun in just the correct position to get good shots of the falls, but here are just 2 pics to give you a glimps of what we saw!
