The game drive in the afternoon started at 3 p.m. and was really hard work in the heat of the day. (What did the bushman tell us about not moving around between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. ?)
The highlight of the mammals were the Black Rhinos – one of whom wallowed in the mud right under our noses) but I particularly enjoyed some of the bird life we saw: notably, the Northern Black Korhaan and the raptors which I am yet to identify.
South African Ground squirrel
The remains of a giraffe which, we were told. was slow to get up less than a week ago

The bird in which you called the bronze winged courser is called the crowned plover, saw it in Kgalagadi
