At this stage, one unfortunate still has to leave the park to travel between the Eastern and Western sections. The upside for us, however, was that between the two sections, we were able to get out of the car and photograph the never-ending fields of duwweltjies!
Our tent was tucked in under a massive Njala tree. The tents are beautiful and quite luxurious, even though the kitchens had to be closed in some years back, due to repeated raids by baboons and monkeys.
The Western section offers less in terms of structured activities, but it does offer better game viewing and, the jewel of Mapungubwe when we were there – the Maloutswa dam hide (but more about the hide in the next post!)
Wildlife sightings included a few very easy-going Steenbok
Several sightings of a smallish herd of Blue Wildebeest, and almost daily sightings of Black-backed Jackals.
