    Many thanks. I work on the basis that not everybody watching will have visited these places and seen the animals and birds so may not know what others might find obvious. Glad you appreciate the captions.

    We were there the first two weeks of February so I hope it wasn't us that scared all the animals away for you! We definitely saw more on this trip than we did in May last year but there were still several very quiet days. Condensing a full day's driving into 15 minutes does tend to give the impression that it's action all the way but, as you know, it's not like that. All you can do is leave camp first thing every morning and trust that lady luck shows her hand.

    Many thanks for your kind words. The car we 'chose' was a Hyundai Tucson but we ended up with a Toyota Corolla Cross which the agent at Tempest said was a 'better car'. It was perfectly okay and coped well with the Kgalagadi roads. We would have preferred a Fortuner but it was 3.5 times the price!
