20 Oct - Bronkhorstspruit to Talamati Camp

By morning the power was back on but still a bit cloudy.  Had a filling breakfast then on the way east on the N4.  Stopped at Witbank for shopping.   At Belfast we turned North and travelled through Lydenburg then over the Abel Erasmus Pass into the Lowveld.

 Round the top of the Blyde River Canyon the east towards Orpen Gate.

We signed in at Orpen gate and started the gambling - each person states what they think the first animal will be after the gate.  Each time an animal wins, it is crossed off the potential picks for the rest of the gambling.  Who won the first day ??

We drove from Orpen Gate, to Orpen Camp and this was the first animal we saw, right next to the road ! Unconcernedly munching without a care.

From Orpen Camp only a few minutes to Tamboti Camp.

 Here we have a two bed and a four beds safari tents. Each tent has beds, a fan and wardrobe.  On the deck a fridge in a cage, tables and chairs.  In the cage was the fridge and some shelves to protect our stuff from monkeys and baboons.

Got the fire going, then after eating we were visited by this genet.

What a tail !!!

This is another strange animal spotted in the tree.
